Pulizzano then report- edly pulled out a revolver and starts shooting at the woman, according to the Tehama County District Attorney's office. The vic- tim's son was in the direct line of the fire. Pulizzano reportedly missed both vic- tims but riddled the house with shots. Bailwassetat$1,050,000. Court FROM PAGE 1 There was an expan- sion of the Social Secu- rity staff available, which went from three people to six including someone specializing in disability services. There was an entire wall of veterans services available, which had gone from three booths in 2014 up to eight or nine. "This event is amaz- ing," Veterans Service Of- ficer Kelly Osborne said. The event was a great place to connect with other agencies in the county for expanding ser- vices to veterans, which included a recent addition of program to visit incar- cerated veterans to help them in creating a better life after their release, Os- borne said. One of the main focuses for the Veterans Service Office booth Friday was in signing up veterans for services and setting up appointments. Staff had set up 17 appointments as of about 10:30 a.m. Brad Long, a site coor- dinator for the Redding Veterans Affairs Office came to talk with veter- ans about what services his office offers, includ- ing helping with stabi- lizing housing and find- ing homes for those who are homeless. Long says he hopes to establish out- reach in Tehama County on a regular basis within the next year. In another section, Fred Aviles, who formerly owned Fast Wheels and now works for Tehama County Probation, was repairing bicycles. In an- other room there was a medical set up where peo- ple were able to receive help getting glasses and medical care. St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital helped pro- vide flu shots, breast ex- ams, doctor checks, glu- cose checks and, new this year, perform EKGs, Locke said. Lions Club members were in an- other corner doing vision screenings. Clerk and Recorder Jennifer Vise and staff assisted with getting birth certificates for peo- ple with more than 100 being requested prior to 11:15 a.m. Most were from California with about 10- 15 from out of state, Vise said. There were 36 peo- ple at the next table over who were able to work with a notary. In the Recycle The Warmth area, there were tables and a few racks of clothing for people to chose from and by noon the group had run out of trash bags to give peo- ple for carrying items. A far cry from the 20-30 who attended the first event 30 years ago, said Senia Owensby who co- founded it with her hus- band Wayne. "Our first event was really small," Owensby said. "We used the old marina building out at the Red Bluff River Park that's not there now. We would take cardboard that was used between stacks of newspapers and put them outside. I spent quite a while shoo- ing away geese." The project was origi- nally a Daily News project under the leadership of then Publisher Mel Wag- ner. One of Owensby's fa- vorite memories is the year her husband taught kids how to make whistles out of raisin boxes when they were empty. Ow- ensby was pleased to see children running around with them, until she re- alized they had dumped the raisins out to make the whistles, she said. "We always wanted to make sure they had a warm meal as well as something food-wise to take home," Owensby said. "The first few years we did it on our own, but then St. Elizabeth stepped in and started giving us a huge pot of soup. The big thing was we wanted to make sure the event was open to everyone and that they were able to get some- thing warm to wear and something to eat." Li FROM PAGE 1 Hollande declared a state of emergency and an- nounced that he was clos- ing the country's borders. Metro lines shut down and streets emptied on the mild fall evening as fear spread through the city, still aching from the hor- rors of the Charlie Hebdo attack just 10 months ago. The attack unfolded with two suicide bomb- ings and an explosion out- side the national stadium during a soccer match between the French and German national teams. Within minutes, according to Paris police chief Michel Cadot, another group of at- tackers sprayed cafes out- side the concert hall with machine gunfire, then stormed inside and opened fire on the panicked audi- ence. As police closed in, they detonated explosive belts, killing themselves. Hollande, who had to be evacuated from the stadium when the bombs went off outside, later vowed that the nation would stand firm and united: "A determined France, a united France, a France that joins together and a France that will not allow itself to be staggered even if today, there is in- finite emotion faced with this disaster, this tragedy, which is an abomination, because it is barbarism." There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, although ji- hadists on Twitter imme- diately praised them and criticized France's military operations against Islamic State extremists. In addition to the deaths at the concert hall, dozens were killed in an attack on a restaurant in the 10th arrondissement and sev- eral other establishments crowded on a Friday night, police said. Authorities said at least three people died when the bombs went off outside the soccer sta- dium. All of the officials spoke on condition of anonym- ity because they were not authorized to be publicly named in the quickly mov- ing investigation. "This is a terrible or- deal that again assails us," Hollande said in a nation- ally televised address. "We know where it comes from, who these criminals are, who these terrorists are." U.S. President Barack Obama, speaking to re- porters in Washington, de- cried an "attack on all hu- manity," calling the Paris violence an "outrageous attempt to terrorize inno- cent civilians" and vowing to do whatever it takes to help bring the perpetra- tors to justice. Two explosions were heard outside the Stade de France stadium north of Paris during a France- Germany exhibition soccer game. A police union offi- cial, Gregory Goupil of the Alliance Police Nationale, whose region includes the area of the stadium, said there were two suicide at- tacks and a bombing that killed at least three people near two entrances and a McDonalds. The blasts penetrated the sounds of cheering fans, according to an As- sociated Press reporter in the stadium. Sirens were immediately heard, and a helicopter was circling overhead. France has heightened security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and poten- tial terrorist attacks. Hol- lande canceled a planned trip to this weekend's G-20 summit in Turkey, which was to focus in large part on growing fears of terror- ism carried out by Islamic extremists. Emilio Macchio, from Ravenna, Italy, was at Le Carillon restaurant, one of the restaurants targeted, having a beer on the side- walk, when the shooting started. He said he didn't see any gunmen or vic- tims, but hid behind a cor- ner, then ran away. "It sounded like fire- works," he said. France has been on edge since January, when Is- lamic extremists attacked the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which had run cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and a kosher grocery. Twenty people died, including the three attackers. The Charlie Hebdo attackers claimed links to extrem- ists in Yemen, while the kosher market attacker claimed ties to the Islamic State group. This time, they targeted young people enjoying a rock concert and ordinary city residents enjoying a Friday night out. One of the targeted res- taurants, Le Carillon, is in the same general neigh- borhood as the Charlie Hebdo offices, as is the Bataclan, among the best- known venues in east- ern Paris, near the trendy Oberkampf area known for a vibrant nightlife. The California-based band Ea- gles of Death Metal was scheduled to play there Friday night. Among the first phy- sicians to respond to the wounded Friday was Pat- rick Pelloux, an emergency room doctor and former Charlie Hebdo writer who was among the first to en- ter the offices Jan. 7 to find his friends and colleagues dead. The country has seen several smaller-scale at- tacks or attempts since, in- cluding an incident on a high-speed train in August in which American travel- ers thwarted an attempted attack by a heavily armed man. France's military is bombing Islamic State tar- gets in Syria and Iraq and fighting extremists in Af- rica, and extremist groups have frequently threatened France in the past. French authorities are particularly concerned about the threat from hun- dreds of French Islamic radicals who have travelled to Syria and returned home with skills to stage violence. Though it was unclear who was responsible for Friday night's violence, the Islamic State is "clearly the name at the top of every- one's list," said Brian Mi- chael Jenkins, a terrorism expert and senior adviser to the president of the Wash- ington-based RAND Corpo- ration. Jenkins said the tactic used — "multiple attack- ers in coordinated attacks at multiple locations" — echoed recommendations published in the extremist group's online magazine, Dabbiq, over the summer. "The big question on everyone's mind is, were these attackers, if they turn out to be connected to one of the groups in Syria, were they home- grown terrorists or were they returning fighters from having served" with the Islamic State group, Jenkins said. "That will be a huge question." Paris FROM PAGE 1 MIKE KOOZMIN — SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER Fire and police assist injured people on an open-air tour bus a er it crashed into a construction site near Union Square on Friday in San Francisco. By Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A dou- ble-decker tourist bus ca- reened wildly out of con- trol Friday in San Fran- cisco's crowded Union Square, running down a bicyclist, at least two pe- destrians and striking sev- eral cars before it plowed into scaffolding lining a construction site. Twenty people were hurt, includ- ing six critically. Twelve people suffered minor injuries in the crash that happened just before 3 p.m., San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said. The others suffered moderate injuries. Union Square was crowded with shoppers and tourists when, accord- ing to eyewitnesses, the bus came roaring across two city blocks at a high rate of speed. It struck sev- eral moving vehicles in its path as well as the bicy- clist and the two pedes- trians, the latter ending up trapped underneath the vehicle after it plowed into the scaffolding. It also knocked down several power lines used to propel the city's fleet of electrical buses. Firefighters had to ex- tricate the two people un- der the bus as well as one trapped on the top deck, Hayes-White said. As many as 30 people were believed to have been on board when the vehicle went out of control, offi- cials said. The driver was con- scious and able to speak when firefighters pulled him from the wreckage, Hayes-White said. But she added it was too early to speculate about what caused him to lose control. "The police department will investigate what those circumstances involved, whether it was mechani- cal failure, whether it was driver error. It's way too early to tell right now," she said. San Francisco police Officer Albie Esparza couldn't immediately say which bus company owned the vehicle. Police: To ur b us crashes injuring 20 SAN FRANCISCO The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday extended his executive order requir- ing Californians to con- serve water as the state prepares for a fifth year of drought. The move gives state water officials expanded authority to take new measures to deal with the parched conditions and cope with potential storms from an El Niño weather pattern. Brown, a Democrat, has ordered communi- ties throughout the state to reduce water use by 25 percent this year. State water regulators set in- dividual targets for lo- cal agencies to meet, but those cuts will expire in February. "We're going to need to continue it past February because we will not know the state of the drought until later in the season," said Felicia Marcus, chair- woman of the State Water Resources Control Board, which imposes the water- savings targets. Friday's order allows emergency water conser- vation measures to con- tinue through October 2016 if California still faces a drought this Jan- uary. The order also extends the suspension of some environmental rules, ex- pedites permits to rebuild power plants that were damaged by wildfires, and allows some Californians to capture more water. "The goal of this is not necessarily to deal with next year, but to recog- nize the fact that we may well be in our own mil- lennial drought," Mar- cus said. "The problem of this drought is it's be- yond anything in our ex- perience."
