Mountain lion kittens abandoned, die

A neighbor heard the man pacing the backyard saying he “wanted to end it all,” and a woman in the home who dialed for help said the gunman announced he wanted to go see his deceased grandmother, Dyer said.

The woman also urged police to hurry, fearing they would all die, said Dyer, who identified the man as 21-yearold Salvadro Lopez.

Police recovered between 75 and 100 casings at the scene. The man was also armed with a handgun, and a shotgun and more ammunition were found in a backyard shed. Wednesday.

The suit alleges that the city and its redevelopment agency violated the Fair Housing Act and other federal laws.

According to the suit, the city received $933 million in federal funds over six years to build public housing, with 5 percent of the units to be accessible to people with impaired mobility and another 2 percent accessible to people with sight or hearing problems.

The city had to certify it was meeting those obligations in order to continue receiving housing grants and was supposed to monitor public projects to make sure the developers weren’t excluding the disabled.

It did neither, according to the suit.

“While people with disabilities struggled to find accessible housing, the city and its agents denied them equal access to housing while falsely certifying the availability of such housing to keep the dollars flowing,” acting U.S. Attorney Sandra R. Brown said in a statement.

Two mountain lion kittens being tracked by scientists have died in the Southern California wilderness after being abandoned by their mother.

The male and female dubbed P-57 and P-58 were part of a study of cougars by researchers with the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, which sprawls from Los Angeles westward along the coast.

Biologists have been studying mountain lions in and near the mountains since 2002 to try to understand challenges facing the big cats’ survival in habitat fragmented by development while roads, freeways and the Pacific Ocean limit their movement and genetic diversity.

The kittens were believed to be the first litter for their mother, 3-year-old P-42, National Park Service spokeswoman Kate
