Ricardo Medina, an ex-Power Ranger actor, killed his roommate whose name is Josh Sutter on 31^st January 2015. It occurred on their Green Valley home. Medina is going to be back in court on 20^th October. If he is convicted, he will spend his 26 years of live in jail.

Medina killed his roommate after they argued about how Medina’s girlfriend had parked her car. Media felt that Sutter had disrespected his girlfriend. Using a sword, Medina grabbed Sutter’s abdomen multiple times. Then, he called 911 and he still stayed at the place of scene until the police came.

Honestly, I do not understand about human’s thinking. Most of my reading assignments are about murder. A lot of people have done that crime. They can kill their friends, their family members, or strangers. Medina has killed his roommates. However, he also called 911 after doing that crime and stayed in the place until the authorities came. It looks like he killed, then he regretted his action.

Kidnapping a women clerk in Exposition Park, Jose Eduardo Gaxiola Caro (29), was arrested and charged with a host of felonies and faces life in prison. Caro kidnapped his 28 years old victim on Wednesday afternoon at 2:50 P.M. He also brought a hammer to support his crime.

Caro tugged his victim by her arm when she tried to pull away. Outside the store, the woman tried to fight back since Caro pushed her forcefully into the passenger seat of his red Honda Civic. After that, he drove off South on Denker Avenue. However, the victim managed to escape. She was taken to a hospital for receiving medical evaluation, after she was found at a cemetery in North Hollywood. Related to the crime that he has done, he was charged with attempted premeditated murder, kidnapping to commit rape, assault with intent to commit rape, assault with a deadly weapon, and he also accused of using a knife and a hammer in the crime.

We do not know the reason of the crime. But, in my opinion, Caro has received the worth punishments. If the woman had not managed to escape from Caro’s car, she would not be safe right now.

Alfred Olango (38), an unarmed black man, was shot by police officers on Tuesday. The evidences of this incident are two videos. The first video is from a cellphone and the second is from a fast-food restaurant security camera.

The videos show that Richard Gonsalves, who is a police officer, was following Olango to the park area. Then, he pointed his weapon to him. However, Olango briefly clasped his hand while Olango’s sister was crying there. Suddenly, a second officer whose name is Josh Mc. Daniel appeared holding a Taser. After that, Gonsalves fired. At least 4 shots were heard at that time. El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davis said that the department still doing the investigation to collect the other evidences.

I am so sad for Olango and his family. I am sure, they never imagined that Olango will be shot for no reason. Maybe there will be any reasons, but we have not known yet. I wish the authorities would find the reason as soon as possible.

The rumbling, which comes from under the Salton Sea, started Monday morning. Also, more than 200 earthquakes had been recorded. It is occurred in California, where the mighty San Andreas Fault ends. The earthquakes hit in a populated area. Luckily, no deaths were reported. 

The San Andrea Fault’s southernmost stretch has not ruptured for 330 years; meanwhile a big earthquake is occurring each every 150 or 200 years here. Based on the US geological Survey, over the next seven days, the chances of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake being triggered on the Southern San Andreas were as high as 1 in 1000 and as low as 1 in 3000. The biggest earthquakes hit later that morning and at night, a 4.3 twice followed by a 4.1.

The earthquakes usually happen in California. Consequently, the government can prepare well for the civilian, so that when the earthquakes come, they will be more ready. A big earthquake not only can kill people, but also can damage buildings or public facilities.
