Sacramento Kings should stay, recommends NBA panel

SACRAMENTO, CA - It's not the final decision but Monday, the NBA committee tasked with examining two competing bids for the Sacramento Kings recommended to the league's Board of Governors to deny the team's application to move to the Seattle.

The committee's vote was unanimous, 7-0 (some of the 12 members serve on both the relocation and finance committees which worked together on the reviewing the offers).

With the "all-in" vote, News10 Sports anchor Bryan May says that gives Sacramento at least 12 votes, more than the eight needed (to block a Seattle move) when the full vote by the Board of Governors (the 30 team owners or their representatives) is taken.

The owners have at least seven days to review the committee's recommendation before calling a meeting to vote. The NBA said Monday the owners would convene the week of May 13 to vote.

Calif. snowpack just 17 percent of normal

ECHO SUMMIT, Calif. (AP) - California's last snow survey of the season is bad news for the millions of state residents who rely on the snowpack for their water.  

The state Department of Water Resources found the water content in the snowpack on Thursday was 17 percent of normal, an ominous situation for a state that depends on a steady stream of snowmelt to replenish reservoirs throughout the summer.  

In some places, there was no snow at all.  

State officials are projecting they will deliver just 35 percent of the water that has been requested from the 29 agencies that rely on the snowmelt, which supplies more than 25 million Californians.  

This year has been one of the driest rainy seasons on record in some parts of California.

NORTH HIGHLANDS, CA - Investigators now have a drawing of a man suspected of shooting a 10-year-old boy and they hope that will encourage someone to come forward who recognizes the person.

Eric Raya was shot five times in the front yard of a North Highlands home on the 6300 block of Whitecliff Way where he was at a party for a relative on April 20. Sacramento County sheriff's detectives learned a black vehicle with several people inside drove up the victim and one of them said something to the youths standing outside of the home, said Sgt. Jason Ramos. That person them drew a handgun and started shooting, hitting the boy.

Thunderstorms and drenching downpours triggered a flood warning for parts of the valley Monday evening.

The National Weather Service said the flood warning was for urban areas and small streams in north central Sacramento County including the city of Sacramento, extreme southwestern Placer County and east central Yolo County.

Those out and about were urged to be aware of ponding/standing water on highways, streets and underpasses as well as in low-lying areas and where there is poor drainage.

Drivers had some tough going at times, with many spinouts and several more serious accidents.

Bob Worl was rear-ended at an underpass on Sacramento's Highway 160 when a driver in front of him slammed on the brakes to avoid floodwater.

"The guy in front of me slammed on his brakes and I slammed on mine," Worl said. "Everybody's fine."

Barty Keomanywong of Sacramento suddenly lost control of her car on westbound Highway 50.

NORTH HIGHLANDS, Calif.- A 10-year-old-girl seemingly safe at home on a Saturday night is dead, and her parents wounded after someone fired shots into their home.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Saturday in the 6300-block of Channing Drive in North Highlands. Police say they do not know who fired the shots or why.

10-year-old Elvira Campos died at a nearby hospital from gunshot wounds. Her parents were both released from the hospital after being treated for gunshot wounds to the extremities.
"It could have been my house. They could have been mistaken. It could have been the next door neighbors. It could have been anybody," Larry Ellis said.

Ellis lives across the street from the Campos family and heard the shots Saturday night. He says he's used to hearing gunshots in the neighborhood, but never this close.

Triple-digit temps making outdoor work difficult

SACRAMENTO - Triple-digit temperatures put the brakes on many types of outdoor work Saturday. For those who had to work outside, work took a bit longer to complete.

Midtown streets looked more like a ghost town at times, with people electing to stay inside.

A painting crew on J Street was busy putting the final touches on a home just after 1 p.m. The painters were the only crew working outside for several blocks.

At Raley Field in West Sacramento, grounds crews got an early start prepping the field for Saturday night's Rivercats game. Workers often put down their shovels and rakes and picked up bottles of water.

"We give them lots of breaks, lots of water," said head groundskeeper Chris Shastid. "[We] harp on them a lot that they need to be, you know, stopping to go sit in the shade."

Sacramento students escape Colorado floods

SACRAMENTO, CA - Dozens of Sacramento teenagers are finally safe at home after a close call with the Colorado storms. Students at Options For Youth charter school in North Highlands were camping at a ranch outside Denver when the storms began.

The students were high up in the mountains, so most of the time they were isolated from the flooding below. However, getting to the airport to come home would be difficult. Finally, a brief break in the storms and the opening of an alternate route proved to be the perfect storm of good luck that saved these kids from being stranded.

Images of raging waters, flooded roads, and devastated communities were the last things parents wanted to see knowing their children were camping at the Rocky Mountain Pathways Ranch in Allenspark, Colorado.

"I know the weather is getting worse, and the damage is getting worse, so I'm like, that can't be any good," Tosca Johnson said.

SACRAMENTO - An arrest has been made more than four months after the fatal beating of a disabled man along a busy Citrus Heights street.

Citrus Heights police detectives say numerous tips from citizens and help from media in publicizing the deadly assault on Christopher Sorgani on Oct. 27 has led to the arrest of a Sacramento man for homicide, according to Det. Chad Morris.

Investigators were not releasing the suspect's name at this time or a possible motive for the assault.

Sorgani was attacked on the 7700 block of Greenback Lane a little after 6:30 that October evening. Detectives previously said they believed the beating was a stranger attack and the announcement of the arrest did not refute that.
