Galaxy, scored an insurance goal against his old club as the Colorado, led by Connor Ronan’s three assists, won 3-1 Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park.“I think Kévin has handled (his return to Los Angeles) extremely well,” Rapids head coach Robin Fraser said following the game. “This is a place where I felt like he had a tough time and seems like he had a tough time with the fans. So I’m really, really pleased for him to have a good, workman-like performance.

By JAKE BLEIBERG and REBECCA BOONE (Associated Press)ALLEN, Texas — Hundreds of terrified shoppers fled in panic after a gunman stepped out of a sedan and opened fire at a Dallas-area outlet mall, killing eight people and wounding seven before being killed by a police officer who happened to be nearby, authorities said.Saturday’s shooting in Allen, Texas, was the latest eruption of gun violence in the U.S., which has seen an unprecedented pace of mass killings this year.

(AP) — California's reparations task force voted Saturday to approve recommendations on how the state may compensate and apologize to Black residents for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.

In the aftermath of an unusually wet winter, Californians are bracing not only for flooded fields and raging rapids, but also for a potential treasure hunt that experts are dubbing “Gold Rush 2.0.” “It's one of those 100-years events,” Mark Dayton, a Sacramento Valley metal detector expert, told The Hill. With one atmospheric river after another this past winter, snowpack on the Golden State’s mountain peaks piled up to unprecedented heights. But as that snow gushes down the hillsides, the fast and furious flow is shuttling other materials along with it.    “When it melts, it comes rushing down at crazy speeds through narrow gorges and canyons, and it's a torrent of raging water,” Dayton said. “This is even crazier than whitewater.” The flow cascades like a waterfall from about 5,000 feet to 3,500 feet, at which point it begins “meandering into some of the foothills” and into creeks and streams, Dayton explained. “What happens is the material ...
