Motorcyclist dies in crash while fleeing from police in Menifee
It happened a little after 9 p.m. on Bradley Road near Cherry Hills Boulevard, according to the Menifee Police Department.
They say that officers were conducting an anti-driving under the influence saturation patrol when they spotted the motorcyclist who failed to stop at a stop sign, according to a Facebook post from the department.
When officers attempted to catch up and pull the motorcyclist over, he allegedly sped away. Police began to chase the suspect, only identified as a 20-year-old male, but terminated the pursuit for public safety, they said.
"The officers continued driving north on Bradley and discovered the motorcycle rider had crashed," the MPD release said. They believe that the suspect's motorcycle collided with the west-side curb of Bradley, which caused him to crash as he was "traveling at a high rate of speed just prior to the crash."
Officers attempted life-saving measures until paramedics arrived at the scene. He was declared dead shortly after.
"It is unknown if alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash, as the investigation is still on going," police said.
Anyone who knows more is asked to contact detectives at (951) 723-1566.

Chaotic scene in Midtown Manhattan as shots ring out in office tower, killing 4 including police officer
Fear and confusion were rampant after a gunman shot and killed four people and wounded another in a Midtown Manhattan office tower Monday evening before, authorities said, taking his own life. Police identified him as Shane D. Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said surveillance video shows the suspect leaving a double-parked black BMW alone and entering the building on Park Avenue with an M4 rifle in his right hand. He immediately opened fire at NYPD officer Didarul Islam, killing him. The gunman then shot a woman who'd taken shelter behind a pillar, then moved through the lobby, peppering it with gunfire, officials said. He then shot a security guard who'd taken cover behind a security desk. Another man who was wounded told police at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital he was shot in the lobby, Tisch said. The police commissioner said at one point the gunman was waiting for an elevator to arrive and when it did, a woman came out but he let her to walk by unharmed. The gunman then took the elevator to the 33rd floor offices of Rudin Management and "began walking the floor, firing rounds as he traveled," Tisch said, killing one person before walking down the hallway and shooting himself in the chest. The building houses the headquarters of the NFL and Blackstone, one of the world's largest investment firms, and has numerous other well-known tenants. A perimeter was blocked off around the building for blocks in every direction. NYPD officers and caution tape warned passersby. away. Helicopters passed overhead for hours. A number of tourists kept asking what had happened as they walked by and darted off with looks of concern when they learned there'd been a shooting. Two Blackstone employees in white-collared shirts and dress pants stood on a corner making calls and seemed relieved when they were told not to come in to work Tuesday. A young man who moved to New York only two weeks ago to work for Bank of America came to check out the scene. At an building nearby, people were ordering in late takeout food and gathering in the lobby. They told of colleagues who'd stepped out to get food as it was happening, not realizing what was going on down the block. Even hours after the shooting, one young woman seemed unsure if it was safe to leave. Late into the night, the streets were ablaze with flashing lights from police and FDNY vehicles lining the scene's perimeter. Local TV footage showed lines of people evacuating the office building where the shootings took place with their hands above their heads in the hours after the killings, according to The Associated Press. Nekeisha Lewis was eating dinner with friends on the nearby plaza when she heard gunfire. "It felt like it was a quick two shots and then it was rapid fire," she told the AP. Windows shattered and a man ran from the building saying, "Help, help. I'm shot." Lewis said. Kyle Marshall, 38, was working at a nearby Morgan Stanley office when his mother texted him about an active-shooter incident, asking if he was OK, Reuters reports. "Then she texted me the address, and I was, like, 'Oh my God. That's right next door to my building,'" he said. Marshall lives in the San Francisco area but comes to New York monthly for work. "It doesn't make me feel less safe to be in Manhattan," he said. "The police responded quickly." A man who only gave CBS News his first name, Kendall, works nearby. "After things calmed down," he said, "yu start to see just, just worry. It went fromkind of frantic, 'Are you safe?' ... and then it went straight to worry. And just hoping for the best."

GOP Senator Roasted Over This 'Idiot' Take On Manhattan Mass Shooting
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) joined Fox News on Monday to dismiss legislation aimed at preventing gun violence just hours after a gunman killed four people in an office building in New York City's Midtown Manhattan neighborhood. Kennedy told Fox News' Sean Hannity that 'all you can do in a time like this is be sorry' for the victims of the mass shooting before predicting that some of his colleagues will call for more gun control laws on Tuesday morning. 'We've got hundreds of gun control laws, Sean. Maybe thousands,' he said. He later added, 'We don't need more gun control, we need more idiot control. And I don't know exactly how to do that but I do know this — I don't want to hear anyone feeling sorry for this guy who did this.' Elsewhere in the interview, Kennedy entertained the return of a 'more aggressive' version of the controversial 'stop-and-frisk' policing strategy in New York City, one that was found unconstitutional in 2013 as evidence showed it was used to frequently target Black and Hispanic people. Kennedy has been a gun control opponent and has received a 92% rating or higher from the National Rifle Association since his first successful Senate campaign in 2016, according to the nonprofit Vote Smart. Kennedy has resorted to his 'idiot control' line in response to several instances of gun violence over the years including the Apalachee High School shooting in 2024, the Boulder supermarket shooting in 2021 and the Parkland school shooting in 2018. Monday's slaughter in Midtown Manhattan joins the over 250 mass shootings in the U.S. in 2025, according to the Gun Violence Archive. There have been 8,590 deaths due to gun violence in the U.S. so far this year and 15,704 injuries. The motive of the gunman, who killed himself, remains unclear, officials said. Critics on social media clowned the senator over his call to action. Related...
