Oakland County mom accused of leaving loaded gun in 3-year-old's backpack
An Oakland County, Michigan, mother is accused of leaving a loaded gun in her 3-year-old's backpack when she dropped her child off at a daycare center. Prosecutors say on May 14, Kelly Reid, 34, of West Bloomfield, dropped off her child at a center in Royal Oak and handed staff a backpack that was supposed to contain her child's snack. When a staff member opened the backpack, they reportedly found a loaded gun. Officials accuse Reid of putting the gun in the backpack to carry it to and from her vehicle, but she did not remove the firearm before dropping off her child. Reid is charged with misdemeanor reckless use of a firearm. "I'm grateful this is a story about a misdemeanor charge instead of a tragedy," said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald in a statement. "A loaded gun needs to be secured. Failing to do so around small children is absolutely reckless. The employee who found the gun should be commended for quickly securing it and contacting police." If found guilty, Reid faces up to 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine. The court can also suspend hunting privileges for up to three years.

Community Access Media Alliance Signs Historic Agreement To Strengthen Emergency Communications
Press Release – Community Access Media Alliance The MOU establishes a shared commitment to providing timely, accurate, and accessible emergency information to the public, particularly during national crises or life-threatening events. The Community Access Media Alliance (CAMA) has signed a landmark agreement to strengthen Aotearoa's emergency communication systems. This agreement comes at a time when climate change and legislative reform are reshaping the nation's approach to disaster resilience. At a ceremony held yesterday, April 14 2025 at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) offices in Wellington, CAMA signed the Broadcast Media Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) alongside Radio New Zealand (RNZ), Television New Zealand (TVNZ), Whakaata Māori, Te Whakaruruhau o Ngā Reo Irirangi Māori (Iwi Radio Network) and the Radio Broadcasters Association (RBA). The MOU establishes a shared commitment to providing timely, accurate, and accessible emergency information to the public, particularly during national crises or life-threatening events. The agreement comes as public consultation is underway to shape the Emergency Management Bill. The Bill's discussion document identifies clear communication and meaningful engagement with communities, especially Māori, disabled people, and ethnic groups, as essential to an effective emergency system. Radio Hawke's Bay Station Manager and CAMA Deputy Chair Kelly Reid says the MOU formalises Community Access Media's role as a trusted, frontline provider of that information. 'We saw the power of Community Access Media during Cyclone Gabrielle, where Radio Hawke's Bay became a vital connector for people cut off from national networks. This agreement recognises that local media isn't just a nice-to-have, it's critical infrastructure in a crisis.' Reid adds that in times of crisis, it's vital that communities can access consistent, culturally responsive messaging that reaches people where they are. 'This MOU gives us a seat at the table and the opportunity to co-create smarter, more equitable emergency communication systems.' CAMA Chair Phil Grey says the MOU is a critical step in embedding risk reduction, equity, and community inclusion at the heart of emergency planning and response. 'The future of emergency management is local, inclusive, and proactive, and that's exactly what Community Access Media delivers. We're embedded in our communities. We're trusted. Our content-makers speak the languages, understand the cultural context, and have the agility to respond fast when it matters most.' As part of the agreement, MOU partners have endorsed 10 guiding principles, including the recognition of broadcasters as 'essential services' and critical conduits for emergency communication.

Huntington Beach girls' lacrosse bows out in CIF semifinals
The Huntington Beach High girls' lacrosse team had to deal with a lot of adversity this year, and it started a month before the season even began. Kelly Reid, a junior who played lacrosse, flag football and soccer at the school, died with her father in a plane crash in early January. 'She would have been a huge part of our team,' said Oilers coach Brian Eisenberg, knowing that Reid still played a major role, as 'For Kelly' became the team chant. Huntington Beach battled its way to the semifinals of the CIF Southern Section Division 2 playoffs, but top-seeded El Segundo earned a 13-10 win Friday night at Cap Sheue Field to end the Oilers' season. Huntington Beach (8-12) jumped on El Segundo (16-6) early, opening up by scoring five unanswered goals in the first quarter. As the match went on, however, the visiting Eagles did a better job of controlling the draws and fighting back. El Segundo freshman Riley Clinton led everyone with four goals scored, while fellow freshman Contessa Tipton also scored and played a key role. 'They've just jumped right in from the start, and we're so lucky to have them,' El Segundo coach Shea MacDonald said. 'It's really special to have such young leaders, to have that opportunity. A lot of times, players have to wait until their junior or senior years to have leadership roles, but they really stepped into it on their own and the team has been better than ever because of it.' El Segundo pulled within a goal twice during the second quarter, before a late eight-meter goal from Huntington Beach senior captain Lolo Pilkington gave the hosts a 7-5 halftime advantage. But the visitors, who will play St. Margaret's on Friday in the Division 2 title match, scored three unanswered goals in the third quarter. They took their first lead at 8-7 on a quick shot by senior Arrow Koester. Huntington Beach junior Elle Tran gained control near the left sideline midway through the fourth quarter and sped toward the goal in front of several opponents. Her strike tied the score at 9-9 with 7:37 remaining, before El Segundo scored three straight goals. Ella Jones and Pilkington led the Oilers with three goals each, while Summer Vandergrift added a pair of goals. Tatum Viezbicke also scored for Huntington Beach, with Pilkington leading with four draw controls. 'Just to see them fight through everything and fight through that last game; the kids are amazing,' Eisenberg said. 'I can't say that enough. It sucks when you lose, but I'm so inspired by them. Truly inspired.' Huntington Beach, which won the Division 3 title in its inaugural varsity season in 2023, was trying to make its second CIF final in three years. The Oilers lost Vandergrift for several games early in the season, after she suffered a concussion against this same El Segundo team in a match that Huntington Beach lost in overtime. Senior goalkeeper Bella Verdone also missed the entire season with a knee injury. Francesca Thong stepped up as a replacement for much of the season, and fellow junior Bleu Thomas, a recruit from softball, made five saves Friday. Playing a tough schedule, the team lost seven of eight games heading into Sunset League play, all by double digits. The Oilers were close to the league title, losing by a goal to both league champion Edison and Corona del Mar, but continued to fight all the way to the final whistle. Entering the playoffs, Huntington Beach earned consecutive one-goal wins over Royal and Palos Verdes to earn its semifinal berth. 'Just watching us grow together and bond as a team has been really special,' Pilkington said. 'I'm super grateful for the time I've had here.' Losing Reid before the season even began undoubtedly left its mark as well, she said, adding that the tragedy brought the team closer together in some ways. 'We were able to practice more as a team,' Pilkington said. 'We were able to bond in our sorrow, just able to share emotions. We can't change what happened, but that's why now we play for Kelly no matter what.'

Pilot's door was open moments before Fullerton plane crash that killed 2 and injured 19, investigators say
The door to a pilot's plane appeared to be ajar as it took off from Fullerton Airport, moments before it crashed into a warehouse, killing two and injuring 19 others, according to investigators. The Jan. 2 crash killed a Huntington Beach man, who had been piloting the plane, and his 16-year-old daughter and injured 19 workers in the facility, officials said. The two killed were identified as Pascal and Kelly Reid. Citing witness statements and video, investigators said the left door of the Van's Aircraft RV-10 was left ajar after the plane had taken off, according to a preliminary report released Thursday by the National Transportation Safety Board. A witness at the airport saw the plane go by him after takeoff, noticing that the 'left door was open and up. He then saw an arm reach up and pull the door down,' according to the report. The witness assumed that the pilot had closed the door, the report says. Modifications had been made to the door, including to the standard locking system, which affected the warning system that was designed to alert the pilot when the door isn't closed, according to the report. The door had solid steel locking pins instead of kit-supplied aluminum pins, the report said. The plane's UHMW polyethylene door blocks had also been replaced with chamfered aluminum blocks, according to the report.

Security video showed that the left front door was "in the down position" but was "not flush with the fuselage." After takeoff, the pilot transmitted a signal to the control tower for an 'immediate landing' and the tower controller asked whether he could make a left turn, according to the report. The pilot reported that he would land on Runway 24, climbing to about 950 feet and completing a left turn. The plane then passed the threshold for Runway 24, and an "unintelligible transmission was heard" from the plane. The plane crashed into the roof of a Michael Nicholas Designs furniture warehouse store, about 1,500 feet from the approach end of Runway 24, according to the report. Other witnesses said they saw the plane flying lower than normal during its final stages of flight, the report said. The plane rolled to the left and then to the right as its nose dropped and dived toward the warehouse, "where it collided in a fireball," according to the report. Just before the crash, the witnesses said, they saw a "white piece fall from the airplane" that appeared "panel-like" as it "floated" to the ground.
