A San Bernardino police officer fatally shot a man after he fled from officers investigating an emergency call about a man threatening a family with a gun, authorities said Sunday.
About 3:40 p.m., officers responded to a 911 call from a 7-year-old girl who said two men were threatening to shoot her father, said Sgt. Vicki Cervantes, a San Bernardino Police Department spokeswoman.

After officers arrived at the home, the girl and her father pointed out the two suspects to police. One man was detained, and the other fled, Cervantes said.
After a pursuit, one officer fired several rounds, striking and killing the man in an alley near West 5th street and Interocean Avenue, Cervantes said.
The man, believed to be in his mid-30, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man has not yet been identified, Cervantes said.

![Olive ridley sea turtle hatchlings have been released to the wild after eggs were successfully hatched at the non-profit Aquarium of the Pacific. In an unprecedented event, two olive ridley sea turtle nests were discovered in mid-September in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, California. The discovery represents the first-ever confirmed instance of natural sea turtle nesting on the U.S. West Coast. The eggs were then relocated to the Aquarium for protection due to a tropical storm. The Aquarium was selected to care for the sea turtle eggs due to its expertise and resources for animal care. Photo Information: This imagery was captured at a safe distance using red or infrared lighting, or no lighting during, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordinated activity where sea turtles were not harmed. Sea turtles are protected and should not be disturbed or harassed.
