The two suspects injured in an officer-involved shooting on Thursday have been identified.

18-year-old Martin Espinoza and 32-year-old Lupe Nieto were shot by a Clovis Police Officer Thursday morning following a 20-minute chase.

Clovis Police received a call of a man with a gun and when they tried to pull the SUV driven by Nieto, he took off. The vehicle finally stopped at Olive and Willow and the officer fired his weapon, hitting both men.

The two were taken to Community Regional Medical Center for treatment and they are now facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer. Nieto is also accused of evading police and making terrorist threats.

Students, angry over fee hikes, have taken over a building on the U.C. Berkeley campus.

The students are upset about the 32% increase in student fees and have barricaded themselves inside Wheeler Hall while others are demonstrating outside the building.

Campus police say they already have three students in custody that were arrested inside Wheeler Hall.

U.C. leaders say on top of the fee hikes, the budget deficit will cause them to lay off 1,900 workers on 10 campuses.

Union officials say the cuts are driving employees into poverty.

The charred remains found in a barbecue pit at a home in Riverdale are in fact human and are believed to be those of the homeowner.

The discovery was made during an investigation of a marijuana fire at the home of a reported missing person.

Investigators believe Leonard Caetano was killed by his son, Nathan Caetano.

Drastic cuts are on the way in the City of Fresno.

Mayor Ashley Swearengin revealed her plan Thursday morning to close a projected $28 million budget gap. The plan includes job cuts furloughs and cuts to some vital city services.

The Mayor said this was a very difficult day for City Hall. About a month ago, Mayor Swearengin warned the Fresno City Council that layoffs would be coming but did not know the severity of the cuts until now.

The plan presented on Thursday calls for laying off 120 full-time employees, with 104 coming from the Fresno Police Department but none of them are sworn Police Officer positions.

The city is also looking at implementing a 40-hour unpaid furlough program, closing two fire stations and four community centers and plans to look at making changes to its retirement program.

The Mayor calls the measures in the plan extremely difficult but she says the city must live within its means.

Mayor Swearengin said, “People get it… We have to change the way we do business and it’s never pleasant but I can tell you, beyond the 5 year, $87 billion hole that I see, I can also tell you that 5 years from now, we will look back and say okay – we got through it.”

Chief Dyer admits the cuts will most likely impact public safety and sworn officers may have to start responding to lower priority calls, which are typically handled by community service officers. The public may also have to wait for longer response times to lower priority calls such as vehicle theft or residential burglaries.

The Fresno City Council will start addressing the Mayor’s plan on November 30th but the public will have an opportunity to respond before any action is taken. If the plan is approved, it would go into affect on January 1st.

Two suspects were injured Thursday morning after an officer involved shooting with Clovis Police Officers.

Clovis Police received a call around 7:30 a.m. of a man in an SUV with a gun. When officers attempted to pull the vehicle over, the suspect took off and led police on a 20-minute chase through Northeast and Southeast Fresno before finally ending at Olive and Willow Avenues.

There were two men in the SUV and the Clovis police officer fired and hit both of them. There is no word at this point what the suspects did to cause the officer to shoot.

Both suspects were transported to the hospital and the investigation at the location was still ongoing at the time of this report.

This is the first officer involved shooting for the Clovis Police Department in over three years. The last shooting happened in August of 2006 when two men robbed a Clovis bank, then led police on a chase that ended near Fresno State. Both men were arrested and later sentenced to prison.

Thursday promises to be another day of student protests. On Wednesday, campus police arrested 14 people at UCLA, after the committee approved a plan to raise tuition by more than 30 percent over the next 2 years.

Thursday, the full board is scheduled to vote on this matter. And this is not strictly a UCLA matter. It’s an issue that students at universities across the state say that they’re upset about. This issue has spread from UCLA to UC Berkley as well as through chat rooms and Facebook.

A student at UC Merced – Alexander Luong, says he understands all the protesting.
