​9-Year-Old Autistic Boy Shot + 8-Hour Standoff + 17 Displaced By Fire: SoCal In Brief

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — We've rounded up the stories you may have missed over the weekend to prepare you for the week ahead.

But before we jump into Southern California's top stories, residents should expect above normal temperatures in the inland areas later this week, according to the National Weather Service.

"A low pressure system to the west will move slowly inland on Tuesday and Wednesday bringing cooling for the coast and valleys and a return of night and morning coastal low clouds and fog by Tuesday and Wednesday," NWS San Diego forecasters wrote Monday. "High pressure aloft and weak offshore flow will bring warming and inland drying for Friday and Saturday with Saturday high temperatures as much as 10 to 15 degrees above average for the valleys."

In other news, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for tax and gun charges. The 54-year-old Malibu resident pleaded guilty to the charges in September and was due to be sentenced in a downtown Los Angeles federal courtroom Dec. 16.

A 9-year-old boy was shot to death in front of his grandfather's Compton home, police said. The boy's mother told ABC7 that he had autism.

A man suspected of assault with a deadly weapon surrendered to sheriff's deputies following a nearly eight-hour barricade inside an East Los Angeles residence.

One person and two pets were killed in a garage fire at a single-story home in Orange County, authorities said.

A residential fire that spread to three town homes displaced 17 people in Los Angeles County, authorities said.

A 66-year-old woman was medically evacuated from a cruise ship about 280 miles south of the U.S. and Mexico maritime boundary, authorities said. A Coast Guard Dolphin helicopter crew based in San Diego and a Coast Guard C-27 crew out of Sacramento assisted in the evacuation.

Plus, home prices continued to cool in September in California and across the country, reflecting market headwinds, according to property data website CoreLogic.

The decline in seasonal home prices were driven by cooling California markets, the report found. Month-over-month home price declines were led by three markets in California: Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, all of which recorded a 0.9% drop in September.
