Deputy Is Killed After Suspect Opens Fire During Routine Call At Rancho Cordova Auto Shop
One Sacramento County sheriff's deputy was killed and a second was wounded Monday when a gunman opened fire during a routine disturbance call at an auto shop in Rancho Cordova, authorities said. The deputies responded to a Pep Boys store, where workers were having a conflict with a customer, Sheriff Scott Jones told reporters. As they approached, the suspect turned as if to run away but spun back around and began firing “without warning,” Jones said. Both deputies fired back. The suspect fled and, moments later, was confronted by two other deputies who opened fire. The suspect, who was not named, was then taken into custody. The slain officer was identified as 27-year-old Mark Stasyuk, who joined the department more than four years ago.

New California Law To Help Sidewalk Vendors Operate Legally California
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill to make it easier for sidewalk vendors to operate legally in the state. It's one of dozens of bills Brown announced signing Monday, including measures to help voters ensure their mail ballots are counted and standardize balcony inspections. The new sidewalk vending law will let cities and counties create permit programs for vendors and limits when they can be criminally prosecuted. "We can start seeing sidewalk vendors for who they are - women and seniors, single parents, and micro-business owners taking that first step to starting their own business," said Sen. Ricardo Lara, the Bell Gardens Democrat who authored the bill, SB946.

California Beach Smoking Ban Measures Face Uncertainty With Gov. Jerry Brown, Who Vetoed Attempt Last Year
An effort to ban smoking from state beaches and parks went up in smoke last year when California Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the measure as "too broad." But the legislature last month passed several new bills with different approaches to tackling the issue of second-hand smoke —and now it's up to Brown whether to sign or reject them. One of the bills on Brown's desk, Assembly Bill 1097, would ban smoking or vaping only in designated picnic areas of state beaches and parks. The bill also slaps a fine of $25 for smoking in picnic areas or littering beaches in the Golden State with cigarette waste.

Ban On Sale Of Fur Recommended By LA City Council Committee
The Los Angeles City Council committee Tuesday will consider banning the sale and manufacturing of nearly all fur products in Los Angeles, although some exceptions could end up being made. Councilman Paul Koretz, who chairs the Personnel and Animal Welfare Committee, which developed the proposed ban, said he hoped the proposal would lead to widespread bans around the globe. The proposal by Koretz and Councilman Bob Blumenfield will now go before the full City Council, which will decide whether to direct the city attorney's office to draft an ordinance outlining the ban, which itself would then need to be approved and signed by Mayor Eric Garcetti.
