Cougar Kills Leashed Dog; Cadet In Grave Condition | SoCal In Brief

LOS ANGELES, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.

What's more, Acting Governor Eleni Kounalakis declared Sunday Transgender Remembrance Day less than 24 hours after a gunman in Colorado opened fire in an LGBTQ club, killing five people and injuring at least 25 others.

Leaders, police departments and other figures around California released statements about the mass shooting.

"Hate is taught. This is what happens when it goes unchecked. We have to continue to push back," Newsom tweeted. "Our hearts are with Colorado and all those impacted by this terrible tragedy.
