Two people were killed and multiple others were injured in separate shootings early Saturday morning following Oakland's First Fridays festival as police investigated reports of chaos from a nearby dirt-bike gathering and a separate homicide reported on Thursday.

The California Assembly is set to vote on AB715— a bill that would require schools for grades K to 12 to appoint an antisemitism prevention coordinator to track hate incidents and provide training.

Supporters say the measure will protect students from harassment while critics argue it may stifle free speech by conflating criticism of Israel with hate.

Bay Area transit agencies face severe service cuts after Gov Newsom pulled back on a promised $750M loan—lawmakers say if the deal is not finalized by Tuesday the funding will be lost.

Transit advocates warn that BART may cut service by up to 85% and Muni could reduce bus lines by 50%—a change that will lead to longer commutes and more traffic.

French rookie Carla Leite of the Golden State Valkyries grew more confident in English and on the court during the playoff-clinching win on Sept.4, where she called plays, scored 12 points in the second half, and yelled for the ball—helping the team edge the Dallas Wings 84-80.

She now averages 7.9 points and 2.1 assists in 34 games as she continues to build her leadership role.
