2 California Deputies Shot, Suspect Dead
Yuba County Sheriff Steven Durfor says the suspect in the shooting of two California deputies was found dead inside a home. Durfor says it appears the suspect was killed when the deputies returned gunfire but that an autopsy will determine how he died. He says he does not know the name of the man who barricaded himself inside a rural home.
Durfor says the two deputies shot were airlifted to a hospital and arrived "conscious, talkative and stable." Authorities say the deputies were responding to reports of an armed and agitated man pulling up plants in the garden of a rural Rastafarian church about 55 miles north of Sacramento.

California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra Revises Rules For Collecting Data Meant To Prevent Racial Profiling
Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra revised regulations Tuesday aimed at preventing racial profiling by police. The rules, which will go into effect starting next year, require police officers statewide to track racial and other demographic data when conducting traffic and other stops. "Racial and identity profiling are not acceptable policing practices and do not increase public trust between law enforcement and the communities they are sworn to protect,” Becerra said in a release. The revisions Becerra released Tuesday aim to simplify the process for officers to input the data and exclude circumstances where collecting the information could be impractical, including when officers are investigating an active shooting.

See Where California Is Taking Guns With Restraining Orders
California courts ordered people to temporarily give up possession of their firearms 86 times last year. A new law, which took effect in 2016, allows family members or law enforcement officers to seek a “gun violence restraining order” against someone they believe poses an “immediate and present danger” of harming themselves or others. Generally, the suspension expires within 21 days, though in 10 cases last year, the judge held a hearing and extended the order to one year because they determined the individual was still a substantial threat.
