Probe launched after off-duty Nashville cops tangle with security outside Losers Bar
Four police officers are on administrative duty as the Metro Nashville Police Department continues to investigate a fight that broke out between them and security personnel at a Division Street bar while the officers were off duty. Homicide detectives are investigating the scuffle after one of the off-duty officers suffered a head injury, department spokesperson Don Aaron said Aug. 19. "This investigation remains active, and we are reviewing multiple angles of video," Aaron said in a statement, sent via email Aug. 19. Aaron said the officer, who is not being named, was treated in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center trauma unit on Aug. 16 and released Aug. 17 after testing. The other three officers were also not named. No charges have been filed in connection with the fight. Aaron said the department plans to meet with the district attorney's office to discuss its findings once the investigation is completed. The four off-duty officers were trying to get into Losers, at 1911 Division Street, at about 9:10 p.m. on Aug. 16 when they were turned away by security. The bar's director of operations Taylor Beasley told The Tennessean Aug. 19 it is conducting an internal investigation and declined to comment on the situation as it works with MNPD. On the night of the fight, the group of officers crossed the street and words were exchanged between one member of the group and a security guard, according to an MNPD release. The release said a verbal altercation became physical in front of Velvet Taco. During the fight, one of the officers was hit in the head and fell to the concrete unconscious, police said.

Southern California marks 6 months since devastating wildfires
As the death toll from January's historic and devastating Southern California wildfires continues to rise with the discovery of additional human remains, many residents are still struggling to get back on their feet. More than six months later, the public and private resources for the thousands of residents forced to start new lives right after the new year are dwindling. The Palisades and Eaton Fires destroyed about 16,000 homes. Palisades victims are going after the city of Los Angeles in court over the fire response and the lack of water. Eaton victims are targeting SoCal Edison, saying the utility company's equipment may be linked to the start of the fire. Of the 31 people confirmed dead in the blazes, only one other person has yet to be identified. That person's remains were recovered on Jan. 14, on the 600 block of Lomas Avenue in Pacific Palisades. This yet-to-be-identified person has since been added to L.A. County's ongoing list of victims from January's wildfires. The current tally is 31 deaths, including 12 in the Palisades Fire and now 19 in the Eaton Fire. This is the first new wildfire victim located since April 2. The Medical Examiner's Office relies on complex scientific methods to identify human remains, which are typically in poor condition from the fires. Scientists utilize dental records, DNA comparison, radiographs, prosthetic serial numbers and other techniques to identify any remains that come into their possession.
