A U.S. Navy sailor stationed in San Diego is speaking out after learning <a href="https://ktla.com/2019/10/14/fort-worth-officer-who-fatally-shot-woman-inside-her-home-resigns-family-calls-for-criminal-charges/">his sister was shot and killed</a> by a police officer in her Texas home.
Adarius Carr told <a href="https://fox5sandiego.com/2019/10/15/san-diego-sailor-speaks-out-after-sisters-killing-sparks-national-outrage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KTLA sister station KSWB</a> in San Diego he&#8217;s bewildered by now-former Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean&#8217;s actions the night his sister Atatiana Jefferson died, he told <a href="https://fox5sandiego.com/2019/10/15/san-diego-sailor-speaks-out-after-sisters-killing-sparks-national-outrage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KTLA sister station KSWB</a> in San Diego.
&#8220;This man murdered someone,&#8221; Carr said, breaking down in tears.
As a 12-year member of the military, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been trained and taught there are preplanned responses to everything you do,&#8221; Carr said. &#8220;And when you don&#8217;t do it the way you&#8217;ve been trained, or the way you&#8217;ve been taught, you have to answer to that. &#8230; You know better.&#8221;
Dean, 34, is now <a href="https://ktla.com/2019/10/14/fort-worth-officer-who-fatally-shot-woman-inside-her-home-resigns-family-calls-for-criminal-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facing a murder charge</a> in Jefferson&#8217;s death.
Jefferson&#8217;s family said police took the life of a woman committed to helping others.
&#8220;Service is real big for our family,&#8221; Adarius Carr said. &#8220;We want to give back to this world. We want to make it a better place.&#8221;
Merritt said Jefferson&#8217;s final act of service may have saved her nephew&#8217;s life.
&#8220;His Auntie Tay did not allow him to check the windows. She checked herself,&#8221; Merritt said. &#8220;What would have happened if that little boy went to the window instead of his auntie?&#8221;
<h3>The 28-year-old was shot by an officer</h3>
In her final months, Atatiana Jefferson moved to another city to take care of her ailing mother.
In her final minutes, the 28-year-old tried to protect her nephew from what they both thought was a prowler.
But in her final seconds, a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2019/10/14/us/fort-worth-police-shooting-atatiana-jefferson/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fort Worth police officer shot into Jefferson&#8217;s bedroom</a>, killing the beloved aunt &#8220;Tay&#8221; in front of the 8-year-old boy.
&#8220;He saw her when she fell,&#8221; said Lee Merritt, an attorney for Jefferson&#8217;s family. &#8220;He was present the entire time. He never left the room.&#8221;
As Texans mourn the death of another black person killed at home by a white officer, the 8-year-old who witnessed the killing had to break the news to his mother.
<h3>A deeply devoted aunt and daughter</h3>
Jefferson moved into her ailing mother&#8217;s Fort Worth home a few months ago to take care of her, Merritt said.
She also took great care of her nephews, especially when her older sister Amber was recently hospitalized.
&#8220;She came to the hospital in Plano where I was recovering from a major heart surgery,&#8221; Amber Carr said. &#8220;She came and brought me food. She brought me a new cell phone.&#8221;
Jefferson was looking forward to taking her nephews to the State Fair of Texas while her sister recovered.
&#8220;The relationship she has with my sons is indescribable,&#8221; Carr said. &#8220;Sometimes people think that they&#8217;re her kids, not mine.&#8221;
<h3>The beloved aunt died protecting her nephew</h3>
Friday night, Jefferson stayed up late to play video games with her nephew. They played Call of Duty into the wee hours of Saturday morning, a mental reprieve as the boy&#8217;s grandmother &#8212; Jefferson&#8217;s mother &#8212; was in the hospital.
After weeks of searing weather, they decided to enjoy the crisp autumn air.
&#8220;They opened the doors, allowed the breeze to flow through the house,&#8221; Merritt said.
Around 2:25 a.m., a concerned neighbor noticed the doors to the house were open. He called a non-emergency police number to ask for a safety check at Jefferson&#8217;s house.
Body camera footage shows an officer peering through two open doors, but he doesn&#8217;t knock or announce his presence. Instead, he keeps walking around the perimeter of the house, including through a closed gate.
Inside the house, the boy was terrified, Merritt said.
&#8220;He and his Auntie Tay experienced the fear of someone prowling in the backyard,&#8221; Merritt said.
&#8220;His Auntie Tay did not allow him to check the windows. She checked herself.&#8221;
Eventually, the officer approaches a window, shining a flashlight into what appears to be a dark room.
&#8220;Put your hands up! Show me your hands!&#8221; the officer screams. He does not identify himself as police.
Within two seconds of starting his verbal commands, the officer fires a shot through the window while he&#8217;s in the middle of saying &#8220;show me&#8221; for the second time.
Jefferson was pronounced dead minutes later.
Fort Worth police said the officer fired his gun after &#8220;perceiving a threat.&#8221;
Merritt said Jefferson had a legally owned gun and a license to carry. He said the aunt had every right to have the gun with her when she and her nephew thought someone was lurking near the home.
&#8220;Firearms are used to protect individuals from predators prowling about their property. That&#8217;s only common sense,&#8221; Merritt said. &#8220;(Police) created a deadly situation.&#8221;
<h3>The 8-year-old broke the news to his mom</h3>
Carr, who had been recovering from heart surgery, said she didn&#8217;t know her sister had died until she talked to her son.
&#8220;The first thing he told me was he was sad. And I asked him why was he sad. And he told me because the police had shot his aunt,&#8221; Carr said.
&#8220;At that time, I knew nothing about that. So he was the one who actually told me what had happened.&#8221;
The boy shared a special bond with his &#8220;Aunt Tay.&#8221; They didn&#8217;t just play video games together &#8212; Aunt Tay also taught him life skills, such as writing a schedule to help him stay organized and teaching him to be better prepared for school.
Carr said she&#8217;s amazed her young son is staying strong despite witnessing such horror. Now he&#8217;s helping his mother cope.
&#8220;In the middle of the night when I&#8217;m crying, he wakes up and tells me to breathe in my nose and out my mouth,&#8221; Carr said.
&#8220;He holds me. He hugs me. And these are the things I should be doing for him, but &#8230; he&#8217;s helping me to be strong. And I believe that&#8217;s because my sister had a big part in that.&#8221;
Adarius Carr, Jefferson&#8217;s brother, told CNN his nephew was a &#8220;very smart child&#8221; who was wise beyond his years, but was still affected by the shooting.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve noticed things about him that changed, but he&#8217;s a strong one,&#8221; Adarius Carr said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll get him the treatment he needs to make sure he&#8217;s good &#8230; He&#8217;s doing strong, we believe in him.&#8221;
<h3>Jefferson was a bookworm who loved to learn</h3>
Marquis Jefferson told <a href="https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2019/10/13/atatiana-jeffersons-father-on-the-shooting-death-of-his-only-daughter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN affiliate KTVT </a>that he takes solace in fond memories of his daughter while he&#8217;s grappling with her death.
&#8220;When she was growing up, I read to her a lot. I bought her a lot of books,&#8221; the father told KTVT. &#8220;Oh, she loved to read all the time. Her mother would tell me, &#8216;She&#8217;s in there reading, reading, reading.&#8217; &#8221;
Jefferson&#8217;s love for learning led to her pre-med degree in biology from Xavier University of Louisiana. After graduating in 2014, she started working in pharmaceutical equipment sales, Merritt said.
Xavier President Reynold Verret said he was devastated by the news.
&#8220;We are deeply dismayed by the news of another African American killed in her own home by the police,&#8221;<a href="https://preview-assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com/fe4e660e-85ed-0023-f96f-6d77d24a5fdb/1ec1e829-1e80-4611-911b-a14d9ee0b491/Atatiana%20Jefferson_XULA%20statement%2010-13-19.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> wrote the president </a>of the historically black university.
Just 30 miles east of where Jefferson was shot, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/03/us/botham-jean-mother-allison-jean/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Botham Jean</a> was killed in his apartment last year by a Dallas police officer who mistook his apartment for her own.
&#8220;We should expect safety when we call on our police, whose mission is to protect and serve,&#8221; Verret wrote.
&#8220;Families in our communities hesitate to call on their protectors out of fear that they be killed. &#8230; Trust must be established to repair a system that does not serve all equally.&#8221;

Navy Sailor in San Diego Speaks Out After Sister’s Killing by Fort Worth Police Officer

A man shot a victim and then fled the scene with his five children in tow, including an infant in a stroller, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff&#8217;s Department <a href="https://local.nixle.com/alert/7587096/">report</a> released Tuesday.
Deputies responded to a report of shots fired on the 7200 block of Tippecanoe Avenue in San Bernardino Monday evening, where one victim was shot. They identified Larry Washington, 49, as the suspect and chased him down as neighbors pointed them in his direction.
Washington allegedly left his children on the street and ran when he saw deputies coming after him. He fled into a backyard on foot and threw a firearm into another backyard as he ran, officials said.
Deputies recovered the firearm and took Washington into custody.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Washington was being held on $1 million bail, deputies said.
The children were taken into custody by the county&#8217;s Children and Family Services Administration.
The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated and later released.

Los Angeles fire officials released a map Tuesday showing how the Saddleridge Fire tore its way across the northern San Fernando Valley, consuming homes and vegetation.
Authorities now say the blaze damaged 88 structures — up from 58 on Monday — and destroyed another 19 as it seared across Sylmar, Granada Hills and Porter Ranch.
The revised structure numbers appeared to be the result of more thorough surveying, since firefighters said the flames gained no acreage Tuesday.
As of <a href="https://twitter.com/CAL_FIRE/status/1184319732138143744?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tuesday night</a>, the fire had burned through nearly 8,400 acres — about 13 square miles — and was 46% contained.
The <a href="https://tribktla.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/prog_e_land_20191014_saddleridge.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new map shows</a> the flames&#8217; progress between Thursday night and Monday morning.
It sparked after 9 p.m. Thursday beneath high-voltage Southern California Edison power lines near the corner of Saddle Ridge Road and Yarnell Street in Sylmar. Overnight, it jumped the 5 Freeway into Granada Hills and spread rapidly to 3,369 acres —&nbsp;all at the bottom of foothills coming up against the backyards of homes.
The blaze continued growing into the hills and along the Newhall Pass on Saturday, when it gained another 4,140 acres. But weakening winds, cooler temperatures and higher humidity helped firefighters stem its progress Sunday, and on Monday only another 189 acres were added.
Thousands were forced to evacuate their homes, and one man went into cardiac arrest and died at a hospital. Six firefighters also suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, officials say.
Weather conditions remained favorable on Tuesday, which firefighters said helped them to halt forward progress and mop up remaining hot spots. Authorities are also monitoring containment lines and ensuring smoldering debris stays away from unburned vegetation.
About 1,000 crew members remain assigned to the firefight.
All evacuations have been lifted, but part of Angeles National Forest <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/angeles/alerts-notices/?aid=55175" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remains closed</a>.

LAFD Says 107 Structures Damaged or Destroyed in Saddleridge Fire, Shares New Map of Blaze’s Path

The Los Angeles City Council took a stopgap step Tuesday to stop no-fault evictions and rent increases, following fears that landlords are hiking rent and removing tenants before new state rental rules take effect in January.
In a 13 to 0 vote, the council instructed the city attorney to draft an emergency ordinance that would stop landlords from evicting tenants without sufficient cause, such as failure to pay rent.
The council also voted unanimously to draft an ordinance that would limit rent increases for the rest of the year and block evictions for failure to pay rent if recent increases were above the coming state cap.
The ordinances must still come before the council for a final vote and, given state restrictions, the city would surely face legal pushback if it tried to cap rents on currently uncontrolled units.

A woman wanted in connection with an alleged stalking incident in Beverly Hills was arrested Monday outside the Getty House, which serves as the residence of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, authorities said.
Los Angeles police officers responded to reports of “suspicious activity” and arrested a woman without incident about 5:45 p.m, said Capt. Gisselle Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department. The woman had an outstanding warrant in Beverly Hills, and was turned over to police there, Espinoza said.
Beverly Hills police identified her as Jessica Angela Collins, a 48-year-old Los Angeles resident.
Collins was wanted in connection with a stalking incident involving a Beverly Hills business that took place last weekend, said Lt. Elisabeth Albanese, a spokeswoman for the Beverly Hills Police Department. She did not elaborate.

A former sergeant with the Irvine Police Department was charged with 36 felony counts on Tuesday for stealing more than $68,000 in state funds, the department said.
Veteran police officer Matthew Christian August, 47, was charged with 34 felony counts of presenting a false claim and two felony counts of grand theft by an employee, according to the <a href="http://orangecountyda.org/civica/press/display.asp?layout=15&amp;Entry=5930">Orange County District Attorney&#8217;s Office</a>.
August is accused of filing 34 timecards requesting pay for overtime shifts that he never worked between Feb. 25, 2017, and Oct. 19, 2018, authorities said.
He is facing a maximum sentence of 25 years in state prison if convicted on all counts.
The Irvine Police Department initiated an internal investigation in 2018 after spotting inconsistencies in August’s work activity and the overtime hours he reported on his time card. Police then referred the case to the district attorney’s office for further investigation.
“Stealing precious taxpayer dollars while wearing the badge only tarnishes that badge, and casts an unwanted shadow over the hundreds of thousands of hard-working law enforcement men and women across the United States who want nothing more than to serve their communities ethically and justly,” O.C. District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement.
August joined the Irvine Police Department in November 2005.

The Topanga Apartments would be the first project in Council District 12 funded by Propositon HHH, a $1.2-billion bond measure approved by voters for homeless housing. Until now, it was the only district in L.A. that had yet to approve any HHH housing.
The plan had drawn concerns from Chatsworth residents, the neighborhood council, and the councilman recently elected to represent the area, John Lee, who had said the proposed project was “out of scale” with the neighborhood and was pushed through the approval process without enough community outreach.
Lee said Tuesday, however, that he was encouraged that the developer had pledged to hold a community meeting next week.

Dozens of New Apartments for Homeless People Could Rise in Chatsworth After City Council Vote

A Glendale man who was wanted in connection with a brutal hammer attack against his fiancee and her mother was found dead in an Angeles National Forest crash in September, police said Tuesday.
The badly decomposed remains of Brian Cruz, 29, were found in a vehicle off Angeles Forest Highway and Big Tujunga Road on Sept. 27, Glendale Police Sgt. Dan Suttles said.
Aerial video from Sky5 showed the vehicle on its side down a steep embankment on Sept. 26.
Though the vehicle involved in the crash belonged to Cruz, police at the time could not confirm that he had died in the crash. Suttles said the suspect was positively identified as Cruz by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner&#8217;s Office on Monday.
Though the exact manner of death is unclear, Suttles said Cruz died as a result of the crash. There were no signs of gunshot wounds, but Cruz may have committed suicide.

Cruz allegedly attacked his fiancee and her mother in their Glendale apartment on July 19.
The fiancee, who was not identified, suffered bone fractures to her face and skull as well as multiple broken bones to her hands. In addition, one of her fingers had to be amputated. She went on to have multiple reconstructive surgeries and is undergoing physical therapy. Suttles said she continues to recover and is in &#8220;good spirits.&#8221;
Her mother was hit in the head during the attack when she tried to intervene, police said. She was released from the hospital shortly after the attack.
The motive behind the &#8220;extreme&#8221; attack remains unclear, Suttles said.
Cruz fled in a black GMC Sierra Denali pickup truck and had been missing since then.
Suttles said investigators believe Cruz&#8217;s body had been in the area where it was found since the day of the initial crime.
The fiancee was made aware that Cruz was found dead, said Suttles.

Glendale Man Wanted in Brutal Hammer Attack Found Dead in Angeles Forest Highway Crash Last Month: Police

The founder of a charter school in South Los Angeles and her son were each sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to misusing $200,000 in taxpayers&#8217; money meant for the campus, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Kendra Uzoma Okonkwo, 53, was sentenced to formal probation for five years and 220 hours of community service upon pleading guilty to misappropriation of public funds, according to the <a href="http://da.co.la.ca.us/media/news/charter-school-founder-son-plead-guilty-misappropriating-public-funds">Los Angeles County District Attorney&#8217;s Office</a>. Her 32-year-old son, Jason Chiazom Okonkwo, received three years of formal probation and 180 hours of community service after admitting to the same charge.
They are expected to face a restitution hearing on Dec. 6.
More than a decade ago, Kendra founded the Wisdom Academy for Young Scientists in an area of South L.A. along the border between Green Meadows and Watts. She later stopped working there due to a conflict of interest.
She and her son worked together to steal $200,000 in public funds from the school and funnel it to a business she owned, authorities said. As part of the scam, her son approved fake invoices supposedly for school supplies and food from the business.
The scheme went on between 2012 and 2014, prosecutors said, and the money was eventually transferred into Kendra&#8217;s personal bank account from the business&#8217;s account.

Homicide Detectives Investigate Fatal Shooting in Compton

Los Angeles Police Department leaders announced changes Tuesday to a controversial program that predicts where property crimes could occur throughout the city.
The changes come seven months after an inspector general couldn’t determine whether the department’s predictive-policing program, called PredPol, helped reduce crime. Critics contend the program leads to heavier policing of minority neighborhoods.
Chief Michel Moore told a meeting of the L.A. Police Commission that the LAPD needs location-based strategies to target crime and keep residents safe. Moore said the department will adjust programs when needed and that he disagrees with critics who believe the program unfairly targets Latino and black neighborhoods.
“The manner of how we use data is informed by the evolution of technology,” Moore said. “We’re going to smartly use our precious resources.”

LAPD Announces Changes to Controversial Program That Uses Data to Predict Where Crimes Will Occur

When Syria&#8217;s Kurdish fighters, America&#8217;s longtime battlefield allies against the Islamic State, announced over the weekend that they were switching sides and joining up with Damascus and Moscow, it seemed like a moment of geopolitical whiplash.
But in fact, the move had been in the works for more than a year. Fearing U.S. abandonment, the Kurds opened a back channel to the Syrian government and the Russians in 2018, and those talks ramped up significantly in recent weeks, American, Kurdish and Russian officials told The Associated Press.
&#8220;We warned the Kurds that the Americans will ditch them,&#8221; Russia&#8217;s ambassador to the European Union, Vladimir Chizhov, told Russia&#8217;s Tass news agency on Monday.
The switch in allegiances is a stark illustration of how American foes like Russia and Syria are working <a href="https://apnews.com/8c74656b36384df5bd8fd5084b72c933">steadily to fill the vacuum left by President Donald Trump&#8217;s retreat in the region.</a> It also betrays the anxiety that U.S. allies across the globe now feel in the face of Trump&#8217;s seemingly impulsive foreign policy decisions, which often come as a surprise to allies and critics alike.
When Trump announced Oct. 6 that he was pulling American troops back from northeastern Syria, paving the way for an assault by Turkey, the Kurds knew exactly where to turn.
Syria&#8217;s Kurds have publicly acknowledged courting the Syrian government and its allies over the past year. But much of the back-channel diplomacy, including the most recent talks, happened behind the scenes.
Discussions between the Kurds, the Syrian government and Moscow began early last year as the Kurds grew nervous that the Americans would leave them in the lurch, Kurdish officials said. Pulling U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria would leave the Kurds directly in Turkey&#8217;s line of fire, because the Americans served as something of a buffer between the two sides.
The Turks have long been eager for an opportunity to go into Syria and flush out the Kurdish fighters, whom they consider terrorists. Turkey says the group is an offshoot of a Kurdish guerrilla group known as the Kurdistan Workers&#8217; Party, which has waged a decades-long insurgency inside Turkey.
As Turkey spoiled for a fight, the Kurdish fighters were losing confidence in their alliance with the Americans. For five years, the Kurds had fought alongside U.S. soldiers and were vital to defeating the Islamic State group — something Trump repeatedly touts as a signature achievement of his presidency.
After all that, would the Americans really abandon them?
Trump sent signals they would, venting regularly about U.S. troops in Syria and wondering why U.S. soldiers were in the Middle East at all. The relationship with the Americans was wobbling.
Sensing an opportunity, Moscow reached out to the Kurds and asked them to forgo their alliance with the United States. Kurdish officials rejected the outreach publicly, saying they were sticking with the Americans.
What happened next was, in many ways, a turning point. Turkey launched a military operation — with the blessing of Russia — in Afrin, a Kurdish area of northwestern Syria. The Kurds complained that the U.S. was standing by doing nothing while they took hit after hit from Turkey.
Afrin has major significance to the Kurds. It&#8217;s one of the first Kurdish areas to rise up against Syrian President Bashar Assad and back self-rule, a base for senior fighters who pioneered the alliance with the Americans and a key link in their efforts to form a contiguous entity along Turkey&#8217;s border.
The back-channel discussions heated up.
In one of the first high-level meetings in Russia, a Kurdish delegation flew to Moscow in November 2018, where on the same day a Turkish senior security delegation was present. At the time, Arab newspapers reported that Turkey had proposed a 30-kilometer (19-mile) deep safe zone along the border. Russia argued for a 5- to 9-kilometer (3- to 5-mile) zone, but the Kurdish delegation rejected it.
Days after, the same delegation, headed by a Kurdish militia leader, flew to Damascus, where it reportedly met with the Syrian intelligence chief and other senior security officials in the presence of a high-level Russian delegation. The secret meeting was reported by a veteran Syrian reporter at Ashraq al-Awsat, a Saudi-owned newspaper, who said the Kurdish delegation told Damascus they did not want to repeat the Afrin mistake and were ready to show flexibility.
The meeting resulted in the first cooperation between the Kurdish group and the Syrian government — at least in public. And it signaled the fraying ties with the U.S.
The Kurdish militia invited the Syrian government to send in troops to protect another Kurdish-held area, Manbij, where the U.S. had a presence. The move would have undermined U.S. power and influence in the area, but the Syrians ultimately pulled back, to a Russian base nearby, according to AP journalists who traveled to the area.
In December 2018, Trump — against the advice of his senior policy advisers — announced that he was going to pull all American troops out of Syria. The surprise announcement prompted the resignations of Defense Secretary James Mattis and Brett McGurk, the special envoy for the counter-IS campaign.
Even though Trump&#8217;s national security team managed to delay the withdrawal, the Kurds were concerned enough to expand their contacts with Damascus and Moscow.
A U.S. official said the Kurds described it as an insurance policy to guard against Turkey in the event the U.S. left. The official said the Kurds preferred to deal with the United States on military issues and on matters related to civilian governance and reconstruction, but they determined it was unwise to count on support from Washington alone.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
After Mattis and McGurk resigned, senior Kurdish official Ilham Ahmed said the Kurds presented Moscow with a framework for possible talks with Damascus. The plan&#8217;s 11 points included the recognition of Syria&#8217;s territorial integrity and the inclusion of Kurdish-led forces within the Syrian army.
In return, the Kurds would get a political agreement establishing a decentralized Kurdish state, which would give them some level of self-governance. But the proposal never went anywhere.
The deal the Kurds&#8217; struck this weekend with Syria and Russia was negotiated in Aleppo and finalized in Damascus, said Razan Hiddo, a senior Kurdish official. Kurdish forces will work side by side with the Syrian army to try to ward off the Turkish offensive, which began swiftly last week after Trump told Turkish President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan that U.S. troops would no longer be in the way.
Hiddo told the AP that the first part of the agreement will see Syrian forces deploy in the city of Manbij and be followed by Kobani — a strategic decision to keep the Turkish offensive from expanding west.
Another Kurdish official, Badran Ciya Kurd, said the deal applies only to military protection and was forced upon the Kurds once they determined that Trump&#8217;s decision could not be swayed.
&#8220;After we found that the U.S. decision is unwavering, we had to look into other options,&#8221; he said.
On Tuesday, the results of the back channel were on clear display: Russia moved to fill the void left by the United States in northern Syria, deploying troops to keep apart advancing Syrian government forces and Turkish troops.
Syrian troops waved flags after they rolled into Manbij.
Trump, meanwhile, has dug in on his decision to pull out the troops, believing it fulfills a key campaign promise and will be a winning issue in the 2020 election, according to three White House officials and Republicans close to the White House.
It&#8217;s not a new issue for the president: He rallied around it in 2016 and, during his term, repeatedly urged bringing the troops home only to be talked out of it by moderating forces like Mattis and his former chief of staff, John Kelly.
But those guardrails are gone, and the issue never left Trump&#8217;s mind. He has told aides that the chants of &#8220;Bring them home!&#8221; from his rally crowds, including one in Minnesota earlier this month, are evidence that the decision is popular with his base — a key demographic as he heads into the 2020 election.
Russia and Syria, meanwhile, are in a strong position to fill the vacuum left by Trump.
Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was asked about how both the Syrians and the Kurds were looking for Russia to step in as a mediator.
Lavrov made no promises, but said, &#8220;We&#8217;ll see what we can do.&#8221;

Fearing U.S. Abandonment, Kurds Kept Back Channels to Syrian Government and Russia

<div class="sticky-panel p402_hide"></div>
Elizabeth Warren repeatedly came under attack during Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate as rivals accused the Massachusetts senator of ducking questions about the cost of Medicare for All and her signature "wealth tax" plan in an attempt to derail her rising campaign.
The pile-on reinforced her new status as a front-runner in the contest to take on President Donald Trump next year. With first state primaries rapidly approaching, her many challengers have dwindling opportunities to emerge as powerful alternatives to the progressive agenda she's championing.
The night's confrontations <a href="https://www.apnews.com/7cf3f5fabe1147098354d02396bd1817">were mostly fought on familiar terrain</a> for the Democrats, who have spent months sparring over the future of health care with former Vice President Joe Biden and other moderates pressing for a measured approach while Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders call for a dramatic, government-funded overhaul of the insurance market. Still, unlike Sanders, Warren refused to say whether she would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for a Medicare for All universal health insurance plan — a stance that's increasingly difficult to maintain given her more prominent status.
Her rivals seized on the opportunity to pounce.
"I appreciate Elizabeth's work but, again, the difference between a plan and a pipe dream is something you can actually get done," said Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, added: "We heard it tonight. A 'yes' or 'no' question that didn't get a 'yes' or 'no' answer."
Warren insisted that she has "made clear what my principles are here," arguing that lower premiums would mean that overall costs would go down for most Americans.
California Sen. Kamala Harris tried to get in on the action on another subject, scolding Warren for not echoing her calls for Twitter to suspend Trump's account. Warren responded, "I don't just want to push Trump off of Twitter. I want to push him out of the White House."
Featuring a dozen candidates, the debate sponsored by CNN and The New York Times was the largest in modern history. It was the first time the White House hopefuls gathered in a little more than a month. In that time, the political landscape has changed with Trump facing an impeachment inquiry in the House centered on his quest to get Ukraine to dig up unflattering details about Biden, another front-runner among the Democrats hoping to unseat the president.
The debate also served as Sanders' return to the campaign trail following a heart attack earlier this month. The Vermont senator failed to show all the fire of previous debates but made his points with force. He was applauded when he thanked supporters and rivals for their good wishes and declared, "I'm feeling great."
The debate touched on foreign policy, too, a subject that has dominated the news in recent weeks as Trump said he was withdrawing most U.S. forces from Syria and then Turkey invaded the northern part of the country to attack Kurdish fighters.
Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who served in Iraq with the Army, questioned the need for U.S. involvement in "regime change" conflicts in the Middle East. That prompted Buttigieg, himself a veteran, to respond: "What we are doing or what we were doing in Syria was keeping our word."
"I would have a hard time today looking an Afghan civilian or soldier in the eye after what just happened over there," said Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan. "It is undermining the honor of our soldiers. You take away the honor of our soldiers, you might as well go after their body armor next."
Biden has faced the sharpest criticism from rivals in previous debates. But fewer candidates engaged with him on Tuesday as they trained their focus on Warren.
Still, he struggled to fully explain why his newly promised ethics plan to prevent conflicts of interest involving his relatives wasn't applied to his son Hunter when he was hired in 2014 as a director for a Ukrainian energy company.
That relationship has become a focal point of Trump's push for a Ukrainian government probe of the Bidens — an <a href="https://www.apnews.com/30c493831f4740debc7e8f3431830be2">effort that was a major factor leading to the House impeachment</a> inquiry.
On Sunday, Biden had vowed that "no one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they're a Cabinet member, will in fact have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country."
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked, "If it's not OK for a president's family to be involved in foreign businesses, why was it OK for your son when you were vice president?"
Biden faltered some before offering, "My son did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong."
Toward the end, Biden was more confident when he accused Warren and Sanders of "being vague" on the true costs of Medicare for All.
"Tell people what it's going to cost, how you're going to do it and why you're going to do it," he said.
Sanders responded by criticizing the former vice president's record, including his support for what Sanders called the "disastrous war in Iraq." Warren also accused Biden of not doing enough as vice president to empower a consumer financial protection agency she helped set up in the wake of the national financial crisis.
"I went on the floor and got you votes," Biden responded, waving his finger at Warren.
Warren answered that she was "deeply grateful" that then-President Barack Obama supported her efforts, implying that Biden didn't help.
She swatted back at criticism of her sweeping plan to tax wealth Americans to pay for her domestic agenda. Klobuchar said she wanted to provide a "reality check" on the issue while former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke suggested it was "punitive."
Warren framed the measure as part of the ambitious agenda she's pitching to fundamentally reshape the economic and political system.
"Look, I understand that this is hard, but I think as Democrats we are going to succeed when we dream big and fight hard, not when we dream small and quit before we get started," Warren answered.
Though Warren fielded much of the criticism on Tuesday, other rivalries emerged.
O'Rourke and Buttigieg argued about gun control, with the mayor saying the Texan himself wasn't even sure how the mandatory federal buyback of assault weapons he's called for would work. That touched off a stretch where both candidates talked over one another.
At one point, Buttigieg told O'Rourke: "I don't need lessons from you on courage, political or personal."
Also debating were New York entrepreneur Andrew Yang, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, former Obama housing chief Julián Castro and billionaire activist Tom Steyer.

Democratic Debate: Rivals Focus Attacks on Warren as She Becomes a Front-Runner

A man who showed up at a Northern California police station with a dead body in his car confessed to killing four family members, three of whom were found inside his apartment, police said Tuesday.
Shankar Hangud, 53, was arrested Monday after he turned himself in to Mount Shasta police and told investigators he had killed the man in his car, Roseville Police Capt. Josh Simon said. Police said he also confessed to killing three other people at his apartment in Roseville, about 260 miles south of Mount Shasta.
Hangud is facing four murder charges, Simon said. He is in custody in Placer County.
Officers found the bodies of an adult and two juveniles Monday at Hangud&#8217;s Roseville apartment after Mount Shasta police told them of Hangud&#8217;s statement, Simon said.
Hangud left his home in Roseville with the relative found in his car last week, and they traveled to several places in Northern California and ended up in Mount Shasta, Simon said.
It appeared the victims were killed over a few days, though detectives were still trying to piece together when they died, Simon said.
&#8220;We&#8217;re still working to put that timeline together,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We can confirm the victim he had in his vehicle in Mount Shasta was an adult male of East Indian descent.&#8221;
Simon asked the public to reach out to the Roseville Police Department if they recently saw Hangud&#8217;s red Mazda 6 sedan or if they know the family.
Officials were working to identify the victims. An autopsy will determine how they died, Simon said. He declined to say if the juveniles were children or teenagers or give any details on how they died.
Detectives have interviewed Hangud, but they have not determined a motive, he said.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of stones that have been unturned that these detectives still need to look into before making a real determination about what the motivation was, what led the suspect to do the things that he did,&#8221; Simon said.
Tax records showed that Hangud faced an IRS tax lien of $178,000. Hangud&#8217;s only prior interaction with law enforcement in Placer County was for speeding in 2016, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Hangud&#8217;s LinkedIn profile shows he is a data specialist and had worked for several companies in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.

A student is in custody after allegedly bringing a gun to La Habra High School, officials said Tuesday.
La Habra Police responded to the campus, located at 801 Highlander Ave., after a report of a student with a gun, Lt. Brian Miller said.
Witnesses told police that while the boy was showing the gun to others, another student tried to take the gun away and a struggle ensued. Miller did not release any other details about that struggle.
Officers found the student and took him into custody. The gun was unloaded, and authorities believe the boy did not intend to harm anyone with the weapon, Miller said. The lieutenant described the gun as being very small.
The boy hasn't been identified and it is unclear where he got the gun. He was being interviewed Tuesday and police will determine whether or not to charge him with a crime, Miller said.
The school was briefly on lockdown during the police response to what officials called a "threat."
