Woman arrested after bullet grazes boyfriend's head, leading to five-hour standoff
Devin Jones, 44, was taken into custody early Monday following a five-hour standoff that lasted much of the night, the San Diego County Fallbrook Sheriff's substation reports.
According to the sheriff's office, Jones and her boyfriend were reportedly involved in an argument inside their home in the 100 block of Avo Drive, where Jones is accused of holding a knife to him and making threats.
Her boyfriend told deputies he was able to take the knife from Jones and leave the trailer, but while he was outside, he was hit in the head by a bullet shot by a rifle through the trailer window.
The man, who has not been identified by authorities, was taken to the hospital around 1 a.m. Monday, with a minor skull laceration, and was later released from the hospital. The emergency room doctor told the sheriff's department the injury could have been fatal if the bullet had deviated slightly.
Deputies report Jones barricaded herself inside the trailer following the shooting, and the Sheriff's Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) was called in to assist. Jones was taken into custody by 5:30 a.m.
Jones is facing several charges, including attempted murder, and was booked into the Vista Detention Facility.

Encino community leaders expected to present written demands to city officials for improved public safety
Community leaders in Encino are planning to present written demands to city officials for improved public safety Thursday morning. The demands come after a rise in home invasions, burglaries and the killing of "American Idol" executive Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, who were allegedly shot with their own gun, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. The written demands are expected to be presented at 10 a.m. in front of the Van Nuys City Hall. In a written letter, Encino community members allege the Los Angeles Police Department responded to two 911 calls at Kaye and Deluca's home but left the property after they didn't find any crime had been committed. They also claim that following the killing, several other "high-profile home invasions and burglaries, including a homeowner shooting an intruder." "These daily crimes have shaken our community and underscore the urgent need for action and improved protection of public safety in Encino," the community letter says. The letter is calling for an increase of LAPD resources in Encino, the enforcement of existing no-camping laws in the Sepulveda Basin and an accountability plan. Community members will also be holding a virtual meeting on Thursday evening with Mayor Karen Bass, Councilmember Nithya Raman, LAPD officials, State Senator Henry Stern and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Robert Clark.

Officials clear large homeless encampment in Van Nuys near 405 Freeway
Officials in Van Nuys are clearing a large homeless encampment in the San Fernando Valley near the 405 Freeway Thursday morning. The operation is part of the Inside Safe Program led by Mayor Karen Bass. It's an effort that aims to help tackle the homeless crisis in Los Angeles, focusing on providing temporary housing and connecting residents with supportive services to transition them towards permanent housing. The goal is to get people off the streets and keep them off the streets. Jennelle Irby was trying to someone inside the encampment but was denied entry. "It just breaks my heart, actually. It really does. It really does. So many people are just taking advantage of other people," Irby said. "Honestly, from my experience, there's no good feeling when you're in there." More than 75 people who live in the encampment have to make a decision if they will take a temporary motel room or have their belongings left behind destroyed.
