DA's Report on San Bernardino Terrorist Attack Highlights Police 5/25/2017 DA’s report on San Bernardino terrorist attack highlights police bravery in gun battle – Press Enterprise NEWS DA’s report on San Bernardino terrorist attack highlights police bravery in gun battle Law enforcement personnel toward the scene where the perpetrators of the Inland Regional Center attack were shot and killed on Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2015. A recent report lays out exactly how law enforcement officers from multiple agencies responded to the attack and killed the attackers. File photo by David Danelski, staff) By SUZANNE HURT | [email protected] | The Press-Enterprise PUBLISHED: May 24, 2017 at 9:05 pm | UPDATED: May 25, 2017 at 12:17 am San Bernardino terrorist attack survivors and victims’ relatives will get a chance Thursday, May 25, to ask questions about a report released this week detailing how police of툁cers took down the assailants on Dec. 2, 2015. The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s 55-page interof툁ce memo, whose subject is simply “Of툁cer Involved Fatal Incident,” lays out exactly how law enforcement of툁cers from multiple agencies responded to the Inland Regional Center within minutes of the attack and killed the attackers in a massive gun툁ght nearby several hours later. http://www.pe.com/2017/05/24/das-report-on-san-bernardino-terrorist-attack-highlights-police-bravery-in-gun-battle/ 1/3 5/25/2017 DA’s report on San Bernardino terrorist attack highlights police bravery in gun battle – Press Enterprise San Bernardino County employee Syed Rizwan Farook was hit by at least 27 gunshots while his wife was struck by at least 15 – two to the top of the head — as of툁cers 툁red about 440 rounds from ri㰀es, shotguns and handguns – which the report found were proper uses of deadly force in self-defense and the defense of others. RELATED: Horror of Dec. 2 attack remains with rescuers The couple, who killed 14 people — including 13 of Farook’s coworkers — and shot 22 of the 57 survivors, 툁red about 80 ri㰀e rounds and one handgun round at of툁cers, according to the report. “I don’t think I need to discuss whether police were justi툁ed in shooting Syed or not,” said survivor Hal Houser. Shortly aЀer the IRC shooting began, he and others escaped to a room whose doors they held shut against the attackers. Four months following the December 2 attack at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, the constant presence of a memorial is a reminder of the deadly shooting that left 14 people dead and twice as many injured. (Staff photo by Rick Sforza/The Sun) Survivors and victims’ families got copies of the report earlier this week so they could review the material and discuss it at a meeting with the DA’s of툁ce scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. Thursday. The report also will be released to the public Thursday. As a gun owner who stepped up his target practice aЀer surviving the attack, Houser said what surprised him most were that only 10 percent of the of툁cers’ rounds hit the terrorists – which he attributed to pounding adrenalin in a survival situation where bullets were 㰀ying and of툁cers were trying to keep themselves and their comrades alive. “You know those guys were amped up when they heard shots 툁red at their fellow of툁cers,” said Houser, who said that drove home how much 툁ring practice people need to be able to stop an assailant such as a home intruder. RELATED: For San Bernardino attack 툁rst responders, healing is ongoing “It doesn’t make me feel very secure as a homeowner in a situation like that,” he said. Two of툁cers were injured by the couple’s gun툁re or metal fragments during the 툁re툁ght, while others were pinned down behind vehicles that were heavily damaged. RELATED: Enrique Marquez to plead guilty to aiding San Bernardino shooter’s plots Survivor Julie Swann-Paez, who was shot twice in the pelvis in the IRC’s main conference room, said the newest things she learned from the report were the extent of individual of툁cers’ roles and the timeline of the of툁cers’ response, pursuit and gun툁ght with the attackers. She also was surprised at how many of툁cers responded. “AЀer reading it, it was evident there was a lot of really good breaks that went our way in order to 툁nd Syed quickly,” she said. http://www.pe.com/2017/05/24/das-report-on-san-bernardino-terrorist-attack-highlights-police-bravery-in-gun-battle/ 2/3 5/25/2017 Emergency responders show life-saving equipment, techniques at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center expo San Bernardino County Sun (http://www.sbsun.com) Emergency responders show life-saving equipment, techniques at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center expo By Staff report Wednesday, May 24, 2017 COLTON >> Emergency responders on Wednesday demonstrated some of the life-saving equipment, techniques and resources they use to protect and help the public.

I have served the city of Upland as a planning commissioner, and I served four years on the City Council. I am writing this as a concerned citizen of the city of Upland. Several years of deferred maintenance have gone on, and that has really hurt our city. Because of financial problems the city staff has been cut to try to stop the bleeding. I do understand why the City Council has made the choice to annex the city to the San Bernardino County Fire Department. No one wants to ask the citizens to pay more taxes. But we have come to a point where we must consider that choice, because our fine city is failing into disrepair. We can no longer afford to just make cuts in our work force; we must look at the possibility on new revenue. That includes bringing in more businesses that provide a great sales tax and other taxes and fees. If we don’t do this our property values will decline and we will no longer have a nice city to live in. Our surrounding cities have taxes such as utility taxes, landscaping assessment districts, lighting assessment districts and public safety taxes. No, not all cities have all these taxes, but Upland has none of these, yet we think we are the best city in the Inland Empire. Right now we are getting behind, and the city needs our help. Years of deferred maintenance on our roadways and underground infrastructure have left us tens of millions of dollars in the hole when it comes to necessary improvements, a price tag that is growing every day. We are currently in the process of annexing into the county fire system, a move that will improve our bottom line by as much as $50 million over the next 10 years. I know that many citizens do not want to lose our Fire Department. Let me tell you about my experience in a fire department. I was hired by the city of Stanton in Orange County. After eight years on the job the city of Stanton contracted with Orange County for fire protection. So I have gone from a city department to a county department. This seems like a drastic thing to do, but there are many advantages for the city, and for the firefighters as well. First of all the city of Upland will save $50 million over 10 years. This is accomplished by saving $3 million a year combined with the fact that our three fire engines and the one fire truck are coming to the end of their usefulness. The three engines need to be replaced now and the truck is reaching its lifetime as well. These units are very expensive, and will be the county Fire Department’s expense when the annexation is completed. The firefighters’ pensions will then be the responsibility of County Fire, this will be further savings for the city of Upland. The city of Upland will have a lot more resources available, such as helicopters, bulldozers, and search and rescue to supplement our fire protection. http://www.dailybulletin.com/opinion/20170524/upland-needs-to-annex-into-sb-county-fire-department-guest-commentary&template=printart 1/2 5/25/2017 Upland needs to annex into SB County Fire Department: Guest commentary As far as the employees are concerned, they will be on a larger fire department with the possibility of promoting that is not available in a smaller department.

We could see the technical problems with the scoreboard last season and made arrangements to bring a new scoreboard to Citizens Business Bank Arena in 2018.” said Michael K. Krouse, President & CEO. “Not only our sporting competitions will be seen with better clarity, but our graduation ceremonies will benefit from this brand-new large LED screen board.” In sports every moment matters, and audiences today have higher expectations than ever before.

  • How San Bernardino Terror Attack Survivors Are Struggling with PTSD’S ‘Invisible Wounds’ 2 Years Later – Press Enterprise
    11/17/2017 How San Bernardino terror attack survivors are struggling with PTSD’s ‘invisible wounds’ 2 years later – Press Enterprise LOCAL NEWS How San Bernardino terror attack survivors are struggling with PTSD’s ‘invisible wounds’ 2 years later Paula Harold has a moment with Heidi, a horse she spent time with in a horse therapy program through Equus Medendi Equine Assisted Therapy in Redlands on Wednesday, May 24, 2017. In back is her husband Anthony. Paula is a survivor from the Dec. 2nd terrorist attack in San Bernardino and is now dealing with PTSD. She has completed at least a dozen sessions of the horse therapy program to help her deal with the issues. (Stan Lim, The Press-Enterprise/SCNG) By SUZANNE HURT | [email protected] | The Press-Enterprise November 17, 2017 at 8:22 am She’d never been afraid of horses before. Yet she froze outside the corral — her mind racing with fear as she watched the palomino quarterhorse walk around the corral in an isolated box canyon. Since the Dec. 2, 2015, terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Paula Harold had been afraid, distressed and despondent — diagnosed with post- traumatic stress disorder. Now she was supposed to go in there and begin equine therapy. But she stood behind the fence – heart beating fast, breathing shallow, her body ooded with anxiety. “I’m scared,” she said soly to horse expert Angie Sheer and therapist Susan Lilly at Buffalo Meadows Ranch in Redlands. “I don’t know if it’s going to charge me.” Most days, Paula just stayed home.
