ByScottSmith TheAssociatedPress FRESNO An inmate at a California state prison was shot and killed to stop an attack on another who had fallen to the ground un- conscious, officials said Wednesday. A correctional officer first fired a warning shot from his rifle to stop two inmates from attacking the third, said Dana Simas, spokes- woman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. When the attack did not stop, the officer fired the fatal round, striking the inmate's chest, said Simas, adding that deadly force was the offi- cer's last resort. The shooting happened inside Kern Valley State Prison in rural Delano, about 35 miles north of Ba- kersfield. The prison holds more than 3,700 inmates. Officials did not release the names of the inmates or correctional officer. The inmate who was shot had been airlifted to a hospital and later pronounced dead, Simas said. The inmate who was attacked has been taken to a hospital to be treated for a head injury, she said. There were no reports of injuries to the second attacker, and a motive re- mains under investigation. STATE PRISON In mat e sh ot , ki ll ed by o ffic er By Kristin J. Bender The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO There's nothing funny about the uncertain transition of the Cartoon Art Museum. The San Francisco facil- ity bills itself as the only museum in the West ded- icated to preserving and sharing "cartoon art in all its forms." Over the past 30 years, it has exhibited editorial car- toons, comic books, graphic novels, anime, Sunday fun- nies, Saturday morning cartoons and other works. It also boasts a research li- brary (what's Porky Pig's signature slogan again?) and a 7,000-piece perma- nent collection. But the museum faces a sad tale: Monthly rent has doubled in its space south of Market. It is forced to find a new per- manent home in the next two months. "We've been through this before with the dot-com boom. This time it's called the tech boom," curator An- drew Farago said. "We do have a plan of attack which is we are packing up and going to put things in stor- age during the transition period." Doors close June 28 at its Mission Street location. Farago said the museum doesn't want to leave San Francisco but might have no choice. "We are keeping our op- tions open," he said. "The San Francisco 49ers are in Santa Clara. When some- thing like that can hap- pen, you can't really rule anything out." It's just another chal- lenge in the life of the Car- toon Art Museum, execu- tive director Summerlea Kasha said. "And given San Francisco's current com- mercial real estate market, it's not very surprising." The museum's roots are humble. In 1984, a group of car- toon art enthusiasts began organized exhibitions of their own artwork, setting up shows in museums and corporate spaces. In 1987, with an endowment from Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, the museum moved to the heart of the city's vi- brant arts core. It's had a few homes over the years. Before moving to the cur- rent location in 2001, the museum put its collection in storage for eight months while looking for a lease. Museum officials say cartoon art is an accessi- ble and relatable art form. "Everyone, no matter where they grew up, has some touchstone they can relate to. It's been great seeing people come in who will see artwork that they grew up reading in the newspaper. That might be Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes or Bloom County. It's fun seeing kids today who only know superheros from the movies, not from comic book characters." Until the doors close on Mission, there is plenty to see at the museum. In May, the facility will take part in the inaugural San Francisco Comics Fest with an event celebrat- ing San Francisco's under- ground "comix" movement. It also will host an evening of standup comedy and the Queer Comics Expo. The museum's final ex- hibition will showcase art- work from Jeffrey Brown's series of Star Wars books,.
