My son was over there helping people
to come home and he serves his country
to the greatest of his extent. The
Gold Star families of the 13 US
service members killed in the Kabul
airport attack get ready to make
their voices heard today. They
would like to to express our deepest
sympathies and sorrow to the family
and coworkers and the personnel.
Three people are dead after two
helicopters collided while fighting
a fire in Riverside County. There's
a growing trend in the US. We're
going to explain what a Gray divorces
and Daniel Ucon, a lost boy from Sudan,
shares his story of survival.
It's another hot day across San Diego
County and excessive heat warning remains.
But temperatures, they're dropping.
We're also going to see humidity rise.
It is Monday morning in Europe with CBS8.
And thank you so much for joining us here
at 6:00 AM on this Monday. I'm Eric Connor.
And I'm Dana Marie make nickel
filling in for NETA or Rampur.
We do want to get right to
our top stories this morning.
San Diego police.
Right now we're trying to figure
out will it a driver to lose control
of their SUV and crash into a tree.
You can see the footage from overnight
just before 11:00 last night in the
Mount Hope area near the intersection
of Market Street and Getaway center.
This happened.
As you can see,
fire crews had to extricate the driver.
It's not clear how serious
their injuries are.
It's also not clear if alcohol or
drugs even played a factor in this crash.
So of course this is all the
information we have of this moment,
but we'll update you as soon
as we learn more.
Also, following a developing story out
of Riverside County where three people
were killed after two firefighting
helicopters collided while fighting a fire,
this happened yesterday afternoon.
Firefighters were battling
A20 acre fire in Cabazon.
That's just South of the Morongo
Casino near the 10 Freeway.
So many of you know this casino
right off the freeway there.
One of the helicopters landed
safely during the accident.
The second helicopter, though crashed
and all three people aboard were killed.
The victims include one Cal
Fire Division Chief, 1 Cal.
Fire Captain, and one contract pilot.
I would like to to express our deepest
sympathies and sorrow to the family
and coworkers of the personnel.
This was a tragic loss for the community,
the Fire Service Committee in Cal Fire
and Riverside County Fire Department.
The crash caused an additional 4
acre fire which was later put out.
Later this morning.
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa
will be holding a public hearing
on the Kabul airport bombing.
This all happened back in August of
2021 during the Afghanistan withdrawal.
13 service members killed. The majority
were based out of Camp Pendleton.
CBS8's Chris Grove live
outside Escondido City Hall.
And that's Chris where the Gold Star
families of these service members
are going to be testifying there.
Yeah, they'll be all again speaking
publicly for again in this type of forms,
congressional form that will be
happening here at Escondido City Hall.
Representative Darrell Issa saying that
this is going to be the first of its kind.
Now Representative Darrell ICE
has long been critical here of
the withdrawal from Afghanistan,
notably again because of the loss of those
lives and that tragic Kabul airport bombing.
Now, immediately after the Pentagon
described the 2021 assault as a complex
attack quote involving multiple explosions
and gunfire at and near the Kabul airport,
a majority of those killed that
day were from the 2nd Battalion,
First Marine Regiment assigned
to Camp Pendleton.
Now according to Representative
I Says office,
the family members of those killed
will quote testify in public as they
still search for the truth and closure
for the disastrous withdrawal that
cost these men and women their lives.
Now last year on the one year
anniversary of the attack,
President Joe Biden said in part quote
today I am praying for the families
of those 13 fallen warriors who lost
a piece of their soul one year ago.
Our nation can never repay
such incredible sacrifice,
but we will never fail to honor our
sacred obligation to the families
and survivors they left behind.
Now today's forum expected to start
at 10:00 AM Not clear how many of the
families will be represented here,
but the public also invited to attend here.
Eric and Data Marie.
All right, Chris, thank you for that.
This morning a man is dead after a
Lamesa police officer shot and killed
him and happened yesterday afternoon.
The shooting happened near a busy St.
in the parking lot of a condominium
complex along University Ave.
Police say he was a wanted felon.
The man was tentatively identified
as a 41 year old man but his
name has not been released.
No one else was injured.
San Diego Police Homicide is
conducting this investigation
regarding who fired what rounds,
how many rounds. That's something
that that the investigation is
going to need to take place to
find more information about that.
It is expected that the officer
who fired the fatal shot would be
identified in the next couple of days,
potentially 3 or 4 days from now.
We'll keep you posted.

Well, today you can join the San
Diego Junior Lifeguards and do
something that's normally illegal.
The Prevent Drowning Foundation of
San Diego is hosting another Ocean
Beach Pier Jump fundraising event,
This video from last month's jump.
It's quite a ways down there right?
This is a 30 year tradition.
If you want to take the plunge
and are at least 18 years old,
you can head to the pier and snag a ticket.
Tickets bought at the pier are on
a first come, first serve basis.
All proceeds go toward swimming lessons and
scholarships for the Junior lifeguards.
If you don't want to take the
dive but you want to support,
you can do that too.
You just donate on
preventdrowningfoundation.org.
This all starts at noon.
Growing up here in San Diego,
so many of my friends were junior lifeguards.
Yeah, I just never got into it.
I think the pier jump scared me.
I'm definitely afraid of Hyatt.
It's quite a drop.
I didn't want to go through that whole
thing and then have to jump off the pier.
But I love cheer down my friends.
Yes, I think I I
would do it. I don't know if
now at like 28 I would do it,
but I didn't grow up in San Diego.
And if I had, I feel like that
would have been something that
I would have been down to do.
It looks like the they were OK
with the water temperature because
it's it's gone up quite a bit with
this heat waves that we've been
having here 70 degrees.
I mean it's really not bad
out there in the water.
We're continuing to see a possibility
of a storm headed our way.
So we're going to see the remnants of
Tropical Storm Eugene move in our direction,
and while many of us not might
not be too stoked on, say,
a rise in humidity and an increase
in the opportunity for rain,
we are all going to see a temperature
cool down that is going to last
through the end of this week.
So while the other parts of it that
come along might not be the greatest,
we can probably celebrate that
cool down after what's been weeks
on end of excessive heat for the
mountains and deserts in particular.
So chance for things to kind
of balance out toward average,
if not slightly cooler than average.
Upper 70s this afternoon along the coast,
upper 80s inland.
Yet again 85 for the mountains went
away for the deserts on average.
Cloud cover hugging the coast as we
start off your Monday morning here.
Limited visibility in many cases.
But I want to point out that that
excessive heat warning remains
for the mount for the deserts.
Actually it's exclusive to the mountain.
To the deserts, I should say.
Mountains are still going to
be be pretty warm,
but this will last through today at 8:00 PM.
That pink on the screen spanning east of
us and about North East of us as well.
So visibility is limited in
the Carlsbad and Miramar area.
In particular,
Kearny Mesa has just dropped
down to under a mile oceansides.
At 5 miles South of Kearny Mesa,
we're not running into a lot of difficulty.
Remember to of course slow your
speeds if you're seeing that
limited visibility on the highways.
Live look outside shows above those clouds.
We're off to a beautiful sunrise that
just happened about a minute ago.
Set 607 is that sunrise.
Sunsets not come until 742 now.
While our afternoon conditions
are pretty mild for today,
89 for Santee and El Cajon, 73 for PB.
Take a look at what your inland
temperatures are going to be
doing over the next five days.
Through of low pressure moves in,
remnants of Tropical Storm Eugene moves in,
increases our humidity,
drops our temperatures by the middle
and later portion of this week.
We'll dive into deeper detail
on this in just a few minutes,
but we do want to show you what's going
on as far as our border wait times go.
Clock is just hitting 609 and right
now the San Ysidro Port of Entry
is looking at 175 minute wait.
That means you're expected to be
in line for up to about 3 hours,
if not longer in some cases.
What time may support of entry?
About an hour 15.
Right now it's Monday morning,
so things are pretty busy out
there along the border.
You can expect that once you
get into the US
and into
sandiegocountyspecificallycbs8.com/traffic,
we'll have more on what those highway
conditions look like. Back to you
having Thank you so much Still ahead

hotel workers hit the streets.
Tell you what they're demanding next.
