Aftermath

"She knew him: Albert Wong, 36, a troubled veteran who had been in treatment at the Pathway Home for post-traumatic stress disorder and who had been ousted a month earlier because of hostile behavior."

"We all kind of got as far away from him as possible," recalled Rekdahl, a residential counselor, as she stood Sunday outside the home. "We just hid behind furniture."

Five things to watch for during Trump's first visit to California

From KQED's SCOTT SHAFER: "By the time Donald Trump lands at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar north of San Diego on Tuesday, he will have been President of the United States for 59 weeks and four days. That's the longest any president has gone without visiting the Golden State, outdistancing the previous record-holder, Franklin Roosevelt, who got here by train."

"The visit comes one week after the Trump administration sued California over its sanctuary policies, just the latest in many political and legal skirmishes between Washington and California since Trump took office."

"We know his first stop will be near the border with Mexico, where he's expected to view prototypes for the border wall he's promising to build, whether Mexico pays for it or not."

Border fence meets a wall of skepticism in Tijuana, where residents say US-Mexico ties transcend any physical barriers

"As Trump inspects the prototypes and poses for photos along the border east of San Diego, he'll be just yards away from a Tijuana slum where people have formulated their own ideas about them."

"The 30-foot structures — built with varying mixes of concrete and steel tubes — draw residents, tourists and even Tijuana police officers who pose for selfies in the Rancho Escondido neighborhood. They climb atop piles of rubber tires or tiptoe on dirt mounds for a peek over the 7-foot border fence into the testing site."

Caltrans is desperate to fill thousands of new jobs

Sacramento Bee's ADAM ASHTON: "No kidding: It’s a really good time to send a résumé to Caltrans."

"California's transportation department plans to swell its staff by 10 percent over the next five years, adding 2,000 employees to help it execute projects funded by the new gasoline tax. Those positions run the gamut from maintenance to architects and engineers."

"It has so many jobs on such a tight time line that the department is trying to cut through some of the state civil service rules that govern who it can promote."

Republicans who could run a competitive race are taking a pass on ousting Feinstein

From the LAT's SARAH WIRE: "The deadline came and went, and no prominent Republicans filed to run against Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, meaning for the second election in a row there will be two Democrats facing each other in a race at the top of the ballot in California."
