California police officer unknowingly walks into 7-Eleven armed robbery: video
Right place, right time.
Police in California released video of a quick-thinking sergeant casually walking into a 7-Eleven and springing into action when he realized that a suspect was trying to rob the store at gunpoint.
The CCTV video, posted on Instagram by the West Covina Police Department, shows a suspect, identified as Ramon Gonzalez, 48, holding up the 7-Eleven on Wednesday at around 8:30 p.m. West Covina is a suburban city in Los Angeles County.
Gonzalez, dressed in a gray hoodie and with a mask covering his face, walks up to the counter and asks the store worker if he can buy cigarettes, according to the West Covina Police Department.

As the worker begins placing the cigarettes into a black plastic bag, the suspect can be seen in the video lifting his top and then brandishing a firearm before demanding the clerk open the register.
While the clerk loads the bag with cash, West Covina Police Sergeant Abel Hernandez can be seen entering the premises by chance.
He notices something is not right, apparently prompting Gonzalez to make a dash for the door with the bag while the clerk raises the alarm, pointing at the fleeing suspect.

Gonzalez was found to be in possession of a loaded handgun and around $400 cash that was returned to the store, police said.
“Right place at the right time,” the caption to the video reads.
Gonzalez, of La Puente in Los Angeles, was taken into custody and booked for robbery, felon in possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon, police said.
Commenters praised Sergeant Hernandez for his swift actions to thwart the alleged thief, while others acknowledged the clerk for being calm and delaying Gonzalez.
“Great job Sergeant Hernandez and the entire West Covina Police Department for keeping the community safe,” wrote one Instagram user, while another wrote, “Very good job to the young man behind the counter. Thank you WCPD.”

Giants Reach Franchise Milestone Never Before Seen in San Francisco
The San Francisco Giants have been around for more than 125 years. It’s hard to find something they haven’t done before.
It’s not quite as hard to find something they haven’t done since the team moved from New York to San Francisco before the 1958 season. But, on Saturday, the Giants managed it.
San Francisco lost to the Miami Marlins, 6-3, in the sloppiest game the Giants have played this season. That sloppiness was defined by two things. San Francisco pitchers hit four batters. San Francisco fielders committed four errors.
Per Justice delos Santos of the San Jose Mercury-News (subscription required), the Giants had never done that since they moved from New York. It was just the third time in franchise history, dating back to 1883 that the franchise had ever done that.
What Happened in Miami?
Rafael Devers committed a fielding error, which was his fifth of the season. Pitcher Trevor McDonald committed his second error of the season on a missed catch. Catcher Eric Haase had it worse. He had two errors, one on catcher’s interference and another on a throw.
As for hitting batters, McDonald dominated there. He hit three of them — Kyle Stowers, Leo Jimenez and Esteury Ruiz. Matt Gage also hit Jimenez.
Much of that action came in the fourth inning, when the Giants gave up four runs in game in which they were tied with the Marlins. Ruiz was hit by a pitch, stole second and then went to third on Haase’s throwing error. He scored on a single by Jakob Marsee.
Otto Lopez singled and that ended the day for McDonald, who took the loss. Gage walked Stowers to load the bases. Gage then got Xavier Edwards to ground into a double play, which scored a run but got the Giants two outs. It didn’t help.
Heriberto Herandez homered off Gage, making it 6-2. Gage allowed a single to Owen Caissie and then hit Jimenez with a pitch before San Francisco went to JT Brubaker. He got the final out, inducing a flyout by Joe Mack.
Only four of the six runs the Giants gave up were earned.
Now 14 games under .500, the Giants (31-45) will return home after Sunday’s finale with the Marlins and get a day off. After that, San Francisco renews its rivalry with the Athletics from Tuesday-Thursday, followed by a three-game series with the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.
San Francisco is moving toward July and likely determining which players it wants to put on the trade market to either trim payroll or arrange its roster to try and turn things around in 2027.

Kraken Acquire Panthers Wing Mackie Samoskevich | Seattle Kraken
Samoskevich should factor in someplace on the Kraken’s top three lines and potentially among their top two trios, bringing another right-handed shot on a team needing more of those. Top right-handed Kraken shooters include Jordan Eberle, Chandler Stephenson and Shane Wright among forwards and Brandon Montour and Adam Larsson on the defensive side, with Botterill agreeing another winger to let fly from the right side of the ice won’t hurt.
“You’re just trying to give options to (coach) Lane (Lambert) and the coaching staff,” Botterill said. “We pride ourselves on being a four-line team, so I’ll leave it up to Lane and the coaching staff on where Mackie fits into the mix and stuff. But we think that – especially with that right shot – we’ve talked a lot about getting more pucks to the net, more of a shooter mentality, and that’s certainly what Mackie brings.”
Samoskevich, a native of Newtown, Connecticut whose “Mackie” name evolved from a twin sister trying to pronounce his “Matthew” birthname as toddlers, brings above average speed to go with that right-handed shot. The 5-foot-11, 185-pounder is also known for his grit and a scoring touch that saw him notch 12 goals and 20 assists last season to follow up a rookie campaign when he scored 15 and added 16 assists.
The Kraken hope Samoskevich builds off those totals, especially if afforded more ice time than the 14:28 per game he managed last season with the defending two-time Cup champion Panthers. The restricted free agent earned $775,000 last season, and Florida would have needed to make a qualifying offer of $813,750 to extend him.
Botterill said he’s yet to speak with Samoskevich’s representatives about any extension talks or how his restricted free agency will be approached this summer.
“Those are things we’ll certainly look at with them,” he said.
For now, it’s a matter of getting Samoskevich acclimated to his new team. Having a former teammate around in top line centerman Beniers, who played his final Michigan season as a sophomore when Samoskevich was a freshman there in 2021-22, certainly won’t hurt.
“I just think that it’s easier from a familiarity standpoint coming to a new organization,” Botterill said. “It just makes the transition all that much easier. I know Matty speaks very highly of Mackie, his style of play and the person he is, too.”
