Watch: Bear breaks into California home, eats dog food, cookies and chips
Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A bear broke into a California home to feast on snacks including dog food, cookies, a bag of chips and a container of sugar. Bridget Conley said she started getting alerts from the security cameras at her Pine Mountain Club home, located in the Los Padres National Forest in Kern County, about 6:15 a.m. Friday, when no one was home. "He was huge," Conley told KABC-TV. "This bear was the biggest bear that we have seen." Conley said the bear kicked open the door and spent about an hour going in and out of the house. "There were multiple snacks, because once he broke in, he would go in, ransack and pick something that he wanted to eat, come back outside to eat it and then go back," Conley said. The bear feasted on treats including dog food, cookies, a container of turbinado sugar and a bag of chips. "He went for the turbinado sugar, the dog food, and we think he took a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, and I think that maybe he thought it was syrup, and he threw that down. He did not like that," she said. She said not everything in the kitchen was ransacked. "He left the vodka," she said.

2 killed, 6 wounded in shooting at party in downtown Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES — Gunfire erupted during a party in a warehouse district of downtown Los Angeles, killing two people and wounding six others early Monday, authorities said. 2 killed, 6 wounded in shooting at party in downtown Los Angeles Authorities first responded around 11 p.m. Sunday to shut down a 'big party' after officers saw a person possibly armed with a gun go inside a building, said Officer Norma Eisenman. That person was arrested at the scene, she said. Shortly after officers had cleared the area, police received a report of shots fired around 1 a.m. When the officers returned, they found one person dead and learned multiple people had been struck by gunfire, Eisenman said in an email. A male victim died at the scene and a female victim died at a hospital, Eisenman said. Six people were taken to hospitals in unknown condition, she said. A man told KABC-TV that his 29-year-old son was one of the two people killed. 'This senseless violence and loss of life is devastating and those who are responsible must be held accountable,' Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement. 'There will be no tolerance for violence in this city. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.' There was no information about a suspect or a motive, and police didn't say exactly where the shooting occurred. Investigators remained at the scene for hours. Tyrone Laney, who lives in a temporary housing encampment around the corner from where the shooting occurred, said the partygoers returned about an hour after police broke up the gathering late Sunday. He said he heard thumping music, and then, around 1 a.m., a burst of gunfire from what sounded like an automatic weapon. 'It was pretty clear and loud. … You knew that if those bullets landed in somebody, that they weren't walking away from the situation,' Laney told the Los Angeles Times.
