Los Angeles homeowner stabs suspect who broke into his house in the middle of the night
A homeowner in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley stabbed a suspect in his mid-20s who broke into his home in the middle of the night this week, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital.
After the suspect rammed his way through the front door just after 4 a.m. in the Winnetka neighborhood, he was confronted first by the homeowner’s daughter. Then he got into a fight with the homeowner, who stabbed the intruder in the stomach, police said.
The suspect, who collapsed not far from the house, was found by police soon after leaving a trail of blood from the house.

The suspect, who has not yet been identified, was arrested and taken to a hospital, where he is in stable condition, police told Fox News Digital.
A neighbor told police the suspect also tried to break into her home, FOX 11 reported.
The home invasion was caught on video, and the homeowner’s Ring video camera showed the suspect slamming his body against the door. Another surveillance camera captured him prowling outside.

“They struggled for the door. The guy eventually broke the door open,” Joseph Santos, the homeowner’s son, who lives nearby, told KABC-TV. “My dad acted in self-defense. The guy jumped in the room, and they all warded him off. My sisters took a vacuum cleaner and started hitting him over the head.”
Another neighbor, Tigran Sargsyan, agreed that “everybody has a right to defend himself.”

“The suspect was on my property, I heard, at night,” he told the station. “Someone was walking on my roof. My neighbor was aware. She called me at night. My phone was on silent. I didn’t hear, but she was alone. She needed help. She called me. I went out, and she was very scared.”
There have been other home invasions in the area this week, including in Sherman Oaks and Canoga Park, where the residents scared a suspect away. Three suspects were arrested in the Sherman Oaks robbery.
“We will continue our urgent work to make Los Angeles safer and combat crime throughout the city,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement. “I have met with Angelenos who live in areas experiencing an uptick in burglaries and have been in close coordination with LAPD as we take steps to suppress crime in those areas. Those responsible for crimes must be held accountable, and I thank LAPD for their work.”

Watch as thousands rally in Salem for anti-Trump No Kings protests
An estimated 5,000 people rallied near the Oregon State Capitol for the third iteration of the global No Kings protests on March 28.
The next iteration of “No Kings” demonstrations will be held on June 14, Flag Day and the day of President Donald Trump’s birthday, when the White House is hosting a UFC event on the South Lawn.
The “No Kings” movement began in 2025, organizing and hosting protests against what organizers described as “tyranny and growing imbalances of power.” The first No Kings protests were held a year ago on June 14, 2025.
In Salem, the third and most recent No Kings Day drew thousands of people to the streets around the Oregon Capitol Mall on March 28. More than 100 demonstrations took place across the state that day.
On June 14, the movement is hosting a special livestream event of a 90-minute concert at The Town Hall in New York City titled “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment” and hosted by the Committee for the First Amendment. The lineup for the concert includes Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, Joy Reid, Wilson Cruz, Broadway Inspirational Voices and more.
The “90-minute concert event will celebrate the freedoms guaranteed by our First Amendment—of speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest—and the people power that both fuels these rights and is essential to guarantee them,” reads a description of the event.
Indivisible and No Kings are partnering with the Committee for the First Amendment to “counter the president’s spectacle,” said the No Kings website.
Salem Region Indivisible is hosting a watch party at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Salem, with free refreshments from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Salem Region Indivisible is also hosting another protest on July 4 to “reclaim Independence Day and our flag,” the group said. The July 4 protest will be held at the Oregon State Capitol. Participants are asked to bring their own picnic and peacefully protest.

Whether the Utah Jazz wanted it to or not, the rebuild would end this upcoming season. The Jaren Jackson Jr. trade last season was a clear sign that the Jazz would be a competitive team. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was worried that the Jazz might not lose enough games once they had Jaren Jackson Jr. Luckily, the Jazz were willing to do everything it took to lose enough games, including receiving a hefty fine, to both trade for JJJ and, hopefully, draft in the top three in this upcoming vaunted NBA Draft.
On May 10th, that’s exactly what happened, and it was a massive exclamation point to the end of the Utah Jazz rebuild.
It’s a truly massive way to end the rebuild. When this all started, the Jazz were surely hoping that at least one of these four seasons they would get lucky and jump into the top four of the draft. Last season, when the Jazz didn’t jump into the lottery, even with the worst record in the league, it felt like a huge letdown. That said, the Jazz did end up getting a prospect with incredible upside in Ace Bailey. Bailey has shown fantastic signs, but there’s still a lot of growth and consistency needed. Utah, knowing that they still needed to keep their pick, took one last shot at winning the lottery. That win could not have been sweeter with everything on the line.
Had Utah not won the lottery, you can bet they would likely have been making some sort of trade to improve the team. But now, with this upcoming draft, Utah will select a player who can be the cornerstone of an elite, winning basketball team.
Whether it’s AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, or Cam Boozer, Utah is going to have the second choice among those three players, and that player joins a core that’s already playoff-caliber. But now that they have this tier-1 prospect, the trades they make will be to mold the roster rather than try to get a cornerstone player. That means that Utah is looking to improve weaknesses rather than accumulating whatever talent they can, kind of like what happened with the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade. Jaren Jackson didn’t necessarily fit perfectly with the roster Utah had, but that wasn’t the point, they were trying to take advantage of a potential trade opportunity. But with either AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson on the roster, they are now able to evolve the roster throughout the career of their young core.
With how everything ended this season, even the most pessimistic have to be excited about what is certainly looking like the beginning of an incredible chapter in Jazz history.
