Inglewood residents shaken as bomb squad continues investigation inside apartment complex
Some Inglewood residents are living on edge as bomb squad investigators continue to scour an apartment complex where many felt what they could only describe as an explosion on Sunday afternoon. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department bomb squad investigators and Inglewood police have been at the complex, located in the 600 block of S. Grevillea Avenue, since around noon, when residents reported hearing a bomb go off. "It sounded like a bomb, sounded like a bomb went off," said Brian Duran, who lives at the complex. He says that police and firefighters responded to the scene quickly. "It was extremely loud, so we though maybe a transformer blew. Maybe somebody let off, you know, an M80 or something," Duran said. "We came out, looked around. We saw people gathering around, but we didn't, nobody knew actually what happened." Residents are still unsure exactly what they felt and heard, and bomb squad investigators remained on scene well into Sunday night. They could be seen focusing on one second floor unit. Inglewood Mayor James Butts says that two days ago, someone banged on the resident's door and demanded money. She denied their demands. Authorities tell CBS News Los Angeles that they suspect she has a family member that owes someone money. No one was injured in the blast and Butts says that no one was home at the time of the explosion. Footage from the scene showed that there was some damage to the apartment's door, which was hanging on one hinge. The unit next door also appeared to suffer some impact, with a window screen hanging from its frame. Neighbors are uneasy heading into the night, waiting for some concrete information from authorities. "It's scary that that could even happen here, close to home," said Michelle Taber, who also lives in Inglewood. Despite the investigators still milling about the complex late Sunday, residents were able to come and go as they pleased and no roads in the area were closed for their investigation.

IDF confirms killing Al Jazeera journalist, claims he was a Hamas member
The IDF confirmed killing Anas Al-Sharif, a Hamas terrorist who also worked as an Al Jazeera correspondent inside the Gaza Strip. The IDF killed Anas Al-Sharif, a Hamas terrorist who also worked as an Al Jazeera correspondent inside the Gaza Strip, on Sunday, the military announced. Al-Sharif was responsible for advancing rocket attacks and had served as a member of Hamas ever since 2013, the IDF said. Documents shared by the IDF Spokesperson Unit include personnel rosters, lists of terror training courses, phone directories, and salary documents for the terrorist. 'Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence,' the statement also shared. Reports from Gaza claim several casualties Reports in Gaza claimed five people were killed during the attack, including two journalists from the Al Jazeera network. According to the Qatari network, four people from their staff were killed in the IDF strike near the Shifa Hospital. The network also confirmed that Al-Sharif was among those killed by the strike. Al-Sharif also posted on social media minutes before being targeted, with an X/Twitter post saying that "bombings had been going on for the last two hours." A press freedom group and a UN expert previously warned that Al Sharif's life was in danger due to his reporting from Gaza. "UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan said last month that Israel's claims against him were unsubstantiated," the agency informed. The IDF didn't share details about the site of the strike, while it claimed that the documents shared were "proof of the integration of the Hamas terrorist within the Qatari Al Jazeera network." The Hamas terror group said that the killing may signal the start of an Israeli offensive. "The assassination of journalists and the intimidation of those who remain paves the way for a major crime that the occupation is planning to commit in Gaza City," they said in a statement. Reuters contributed to this report.
