Attempted burglary in Studio City continues pattern of San Fernando Valley break-ins
As community leaders in parts of the San Fernando Valley continue to worry about a pattern of frightening home break-ins, an incident overnight led to one homeowner firing off a gun toward a suspect, police said. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to a Studio City home around 11 p.m. after a homeowner was woken up by an alarm going off downstairs. The homeowner then saw a person running through their house. Police said the homeowner "popped off" a couple of shots with a firearm, scaring the suspect off. Police said the homeowner saw just one person inside the home. The suspect jumped into a getaway vehicle, which then took off. They're yet to be identified. No arrests have been made. There's no evidence that the gunshots struck anyone, authorities said. No additional details were immediately made available. The incident is just the latest in a string of attempted burglaries and other crimes in affluent neighborhoods of the San Fernando Valley. The issue has become so frightening to residents that Encino community leaders recently presented a list of demands to authorities in a meeting. More than 200 residents came out to the meeting, which took place just weeks after an "American Idol" executive and her husband were shot dead in their home with their own gun by an intruder, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman claims. Last week, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said he planned to increase patrols in the area. He also claimed that those Encino crimes were likely connected to an organized crime crew from South America. As of Monday morning, it's not yet clear if the Studio City incident was connected to the string of Encino crimes.

NFL employee shot in lobby by gunman warned colleagues upstairs before calling 911
An NFL employee shot in the lobby of a Midtown Manhattan office building last week called his colleagues to warn them about the gunman before calling 911, according to a report. The NFL worker, who was shot in the back, was one of many in the building who reached out to colleagues with warnings about the active shooter through text or calls, The New York Times reported on Sunday. His call to 911 was one of 113 made to report the shooting, according to the report. NYPD officers arrived within four minutes of the first call. Four people were killed and a fifth was wounded inside the building that is the headquarters of Blackstone and the NFL, according to authorities. The victims were identified as 36-year-old NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was off-duty working security in the building, Wesley LePatner, 43, a married mother of two who was shot in the building's lobby, real estate firm worker Julia Hyman, 27, and security guard Aland Etienne. Investigators believe Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people in the building's lobby, then another in a 33rd-floor office on Monday, before he killed himself, authorities said. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a memo to staff last week that a league employee was seriously injured in the attack and was hospitalized in stable condition.
