TOP STORY
Charles “Andy” Williams, who as a teenager carried out one of the deadliest school shootings in San Diego County’s history, is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Williams was 15 years old in 2001 when he shot and killed two students at Santana High School and injured more than a dozen other people.
Monday’s hearing is set to be an update on Williams’ case to determine the next step in the process ahead of a potential resentencing hearing.
Williams was tried as an adult and originally sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison, but a judge ruled last month that Williams was eligible for a modification of that sentence due to a California law that allows for resentencing for those who committed a crime as a minor.
Under the judge’s ruling, Williams’ case is now in juvenile court.

BREAKING OVERNIGHT
GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) — School was canceled in several Mexican states and local and foreign governments alike warned their citizens to stay inside following the army’s killing of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho,” and the violence it spurred.
President Claudia Sheinbaum urged calm and authorities announced late Sunday they had cleared most of the more than 250 cartel roadblocks across 20 states.
The White House, which confirmed U.S. intelligence support in the operation to capture Oseguera Cervantes, applauded Mexico’s army for taking down one the most wanted criminals in both countries.
The U.S. State Department had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to El Mencho's arrest.
