A student who brought a BB gun to school is accused of threatening a classmate because of his race.

Hunter Langley, 12, says he got the scare of his life Monday while in an after-school program at Dudley Elementary in Antelope.

One of his classmates, who he says has constantly bullied him, pulled a BB gun out of his backpack.

"All he said was he was going to shoot me because of my color," Langley said, referring to the color of his skin. Langley is Caucasian. The victim's family says the bully is African American but doesn't know why he's been picking on their son.

Langley was terrified to tell school administrators about the incident. He told his mom afterward.

Sheriff: Fleming 'admitted culpability' in stabbing of girlfriend after arrest


A former Cal Fire battalion chief who eluded capture for more than two weeks was arrested Friday for the murder of his girlfriend.

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said at a news conference early Friday evening Orville "Moe" Fleming, "admitted culpability in the stabbing of Ms. (Sarah June) Douglas on May 1st." Fleming, 55, was interviewed by homicide detectives for a couple of hours about Douglas' death and where he had been hiding, Jones said.

Fleming was taken into custody earlier in the day only a few miles from where his Cal Fire pickup truck was found abandoned in an Elk Grove neighborhood, near Apricot Woods Way and Black Kite Drive, on May 1. Det. Brian Meux said Fleming had been living in heavy brush along a small canal near that location.

Coroner identifies man's body found in Folsom Lake search


Authorities said a body was found in Folsom Lake Friday morning during a state parks patrol of the lake.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's/Coroner's Office identified the body on Saturday as 47-year-old James Andrew Strauch, one of the four men who was reported missing in a boating accident last week. The cause of death has not been determined yet.

Strauch; Toby Strauch, 54; Jake Jacobs, 53; and Jon Smith, 47, were reported missing on Saturday, May 10, 2014, when a speed boat the men were in capsized in the middle of the lake, near Brown's Ravine, that afternoon.

The speed boat, which is 35 to 40 feet long, was recovered by search crews the day of the accident.

Since last week, searchers on jet skis, boats and dive teams were in the water to looking for the men. On Thursday, searchers from several agencies announced they were scaling back their recovery efforts.

How Fleming hid from law enforcement for 16 days


ELK GROVE - When investigators revealed Friday that murder suspect Orville "Moe" Fleming had essentially been hiding under a bush for two weeks -- close to where law enforcement began its manhunt -- it was hard for many to believe.

However, a tour of the dense vegetation in the field next to an Elk Grove neighborhood, near Apricot Woods Way and Black Kite Drive, showed plenty of potential hiding places for 55-year-old Fleming.

The grassy, weeded fields used to be 14-year-old Logan Black's playground, but after Elk Grove police found Fleming's Cal Fire truck abandoned nearby on May 1, Logan's parents kept the boy clear of the area.

"We stayed away for a little. I was kind of scared to go down here," Logan said.

CITRUS HEIGHTS – A transgender escort is wanted for murder after a botched silicone injection.

Alejandra Aguilera-Ortega has been on the run since police issued a warrant for her arrest in December 2013.

The suspect's sister Maria Mendoza told News10 she hasn't been in contact with Aguilera-Ortega for the last six months and doesn't know where she is.

"I don't want to be involved with the problems she has," Mendoza explained.

Citrus Heights police said Aguilera-Ortega illegally injected silicone into the buttocks of another transgender woman Amelia Lopez Zaguilan on April 30, 2013. According to authorities, Lopez Zaguilan, 22, lived in Oakland but went to Aguilera-Ortega's Citrus Heights apartment for the injections. She ended up getting sick and was transported to Mercy San Juan Hospital, where she died a week later.

CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif - Three men were booked into the Sacramento County Jail Thursday after what turned out to be a three- hour manhunt throughout a Citrus Heights neighborhood.

Forrest Robertson, James Ward, Vitaly Sukhanov were arrested on suspicion of burglary and could face additional charges, according to police.

Neighbors called police earlier in the day about a suspicious vehicle in the area, and when officers arrived, they found a red Volkswagen, the same kind of car connected to a recent burglary. Inside the car were three young men.

"That's when I heard the yelling of, 'put your hands on the dashboard; get out of the car,' and it sounded like the gentlemen weren't listening to him because it got really aggressive and got really loud," neighbor June Preston said.

CITRUS HEIGHTS - A Citrus Heights woman said she's been carefully gathering evidence against her neighbor, a public school.

The trail of dirt leading from Woodside Elementary School grounds to a street drain is a tell-tale sign of water run-off. News10 cameras recorded sprinklers going off after dark on Thursday causing run off, a clear violation of the Citrus Heights Water District's Stage 3 ban on run-off.

"We are threatened with fines. I have no idea if they are also," Woodside neighbor Jan Newton said.

Now, the school is facing fines. News10 contacted the water district after Newton reported the water waste. The general manager said now that they're aware of problem, the school will face fines in the future if the runoff continues, but the hope is to stop the waste.
