"You know who you look like?" asked one woman who approached him on the sidewalk along L.A.'s Destination Crenshaw corridor recently. "Adolf. Adolf Dulan. I remember when he first came into business.

"I just took advantage of what the defense gave me. Darren's punt return sealed the deal." Eric Myers finished with 88 yards in 18 carries to keep the chains…...

1+ hour, 34+ min ago (177+ words) Four people were killed and at least 10 injured Saturday evening after a gunman entered a family event at a banquet hall in Stockton. Shortly before 6 p.m., the San Joaquin County sheriff's office was flooded with 911 calls reporting a shooting, and reporting children as young as 9 who were bleeding, including a 15-year-old boy who was not breathing. Deputies responded to the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue near a Dairy Queen and found shooting victims in the parking lot, and a large number of people panicked and screaming.
