Bakersfield Hostage Standoff, Wildfire Settlement, and a Nectarine Theft

Vote Count Continues across California

As counting resumed Wednesday, Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra held the top two spots in the race to succeed termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom, with vote counting still underway.

Democrat Tom Steyer ran third and has not conceded, with his campaign expecting later-counted ballots to lift him. Democrats Katie Porter, Antonio Villaraigosa, and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan have conceded.

In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass is now projected to reach a November runoff, though her challenger is unsettled, with Republican Spencer Pratt leading Councilmember Nithya Raman, a Democrat, in the race for second.

Statewide, Democrat Rob Bonta will face Republican Michael Gates in the attorney general race, while Democrat Shirley Weber will face Republican Don Wagner in the secretary of state race.

Polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, and with most votes cast by mail, the count will stretch on, with results due to be certified by July 10.

Suspect Killed, Hostages Freed in Bakersfield

A roughly 15-hour hostage standoff at a downtown Bakersfield office building ended early Wednesday when FBI personnel shot and killed the barricaded suspect.

All 10 hostages, employees of the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, were freed unharmed. Authorities said five had been tied up, and the suspect claimed to have attached explosives to himself and some captives.

The standoff began about 1 p.m. Tuesday when officers responded to a reported bomb threat at the Chase Bank building. Negotiators freed two hostages that evening before the suspect was killed around 4:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Authorities identified him as Anthony Scott Searles-Harris, 41, a registered sex offender with a violent criminal history who previously served in the U.S. Army.

The standoff gripped downtown during Tuesday's primary, and congressional candidate Jasmeet Bains, a Democrat, canceled her election-night event as officials urged the public to avoid the area.

Gender-Reveal Blaze Ends in Settlement

Three companies will pay more than $4 million to the federal government to settle claims over the 2020 El Dorado Fire, the blaze a gender-reveal smoke device sparked near Yucaipa.

The smoke bomb's Ohio-based maker, Wholesale Fireworks Corp., and a subsidiary will pay $4 million. A Florida marketer, Pink or Blue Gender Team Inc., will pay $50,000.

The fire ignited Sept. 5, 2020, at a Yucaipa park, spread into the San Bernardino National Forest, burned 22,744 acres, and killed Big Bear Interagency Hotshots firefighter Charlie Morton.

The United States sued in 2023 to recover firefighting costs, alleging the companies failed to safely design, label, or warn about a device that was illegal to sell in California.

The settlement resolves allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability. The couple who hosted the party later pleaded guilty to criminal charges.

That scam call wasn’t random.

Scammers don’t just guess your number. They buy personal information from data brokers—companies selling your phone number, home address, relatives’ info, and more online.

That’s how a random scam call can turn into phishing, impersonation, identity theft—or someone knowing more about you than they should.

That’s why we recommend Incogni. It removes your personal information from these databases and keeps removing it automatically.

GOP Debate, Pinball Detective, and Van Life

Thursday, June 4, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 2004, a disgruntled Granby resident drove an armored bulldozer through the streets, demolishing a concrete plant, the town hall, and several other buildings in what became known as the Killdozer rampage.

Gov. Jared Polis has signed and vetoed a host of bills in the past two weeks ahead of a June 12 deadline. Read about the bills in our Top Stories.

Take The Flyover with you. Busy day? Listen to our daily 15-minute podcast while commuting, cooking, or walking the dog—your Flyover fix, anywhere.

Polis Signs, Vetoes Session Bills

Gov. Jared Polis kicked off his end-of-session bill review this week, signing measures including a rideshare safety bill and protections for students with disabilities while rejecting several others.

On Tuesday, Polis vetoed bills that would have banned surveillance pricing and reformed state arbitration law. Polis vetoed four bills last week, including one that would have required social media companies to work more closely with law enforcement on content violations.

Also Tuesday, Polis signed what lawmakers describe as the strictest rideshare safety law in the nation, imposing new regulations on companies like Uber and Lyft. Polis vetoed a more robust version of the bill last year.

Polis has until June 12 to sign or veto remaining bills from the 2026 legislative session.

GOP Governor Hopefuls Clash in Debate

Colorado's three Republican gubernatorial candidates met for their first full debate Tuesday, 28 days before the June 30 primary.

State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer of Weld County, state Rep. Scott Bottoms of Colorado Springs, and ministry leader Victor Marx squared off on affordability, immigration, and election integrity.

Kirkmeyer, a party fixture who serves on the Joint Budget Committee, told Marx: "You're unfit. You're unqualified." Both Kirkmeyer and Bottoms said they wouldn't support Marx if he wins the nomination.

Gov. Polis is term-limited and cannot seek re-election. Colorado's last Republican governor was Bill Owens, who served from 1999 to 2007.

Task Force Urges Drought Emergency

Colorado's Drought Task Force formally called on Gov. Jared Polis to declare an emergency drought proclamation that would advance the state to Phase Three—the highest drought response level—and unlock additional state resources.

The recommendation comes in the wake of a historically dry winter that spurred municipal drought restrictions across the state.

Drought conditions have improved in some regions, such as northern Colorado and parts of the Eastern Plains, over the last month. Others, like the San Luis Valley, reported more severe drought after a dry May.
