BLACK
BLACK LIVES MATTER CLOTHING? WE VERIFIED WITH THE SUMMER HEAT ON POOLS ARE OPEN AND SWIM
CLASSES ARE JUST BEGINNING.
WE'LL GIVE YOU A LOOK AT
TODAY'S SPECIAL. IT'S A TWENTY
THREE STORY THAT TAKES AN ONLY
CHILD TO HAVING SEVEN SIBLINGS.
PLUS IS BRITNEY SPEARS REALLY
RETIRING? WHY HER LONGTIME
MANAGER SAYS HE'S QUITTING
NEWS8 AT SIX STARTS RIGHT NOW
WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE
DEATH OF A 12 YEAR OLD BOY FROM
CHULA VISTA WHO POLICE SAY
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF OVER
THE WEEKEND. GOOD EVENING AND
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I'M
CARLO CHIQUITO. I'M MARCELLA.
POLICE NOW SAY THE GUN WAS
BROUGHT INTO THE BOY'S HOME BY
A 15 YEAR OLD FRIEND AS NEWS8
DAVID GOTFREDSON REPORTS WHERE
THAT GUN CAME FROM REMAINS
UNDER INVESTIGATION. HE'S JUST
ALWAYS LAUGHIN AND CONSTANTLY
MAKING EVERYBODY AROUND HIM
FEEL COMFORTABLE AS THE PARENTS
AND FOUR SISTERS OF 12 YEAR OLD
MAX MENDOZA CONTINUE TO MOURN
HIS LOSS, WE ARE LEARNING MORE
ABOUT HOW THE BOY WAS ABLE TO
OBTAIN A LOADED GUN. CHULA
VISTA POLICE SAY THE GUN WAS
BROUGHT INTO A HOME BY A 15
YEAR OLD FRIEND OF THE BOY WHO
IS SLEEPING OVER AT THE
FAMILY'S CONDO ON TELEGRAPH
CANYON ROAD. THE 12 YEAR OLD
VICTIM GAINED ACCESS TO THE GUN
AND ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF
EXACTLY WHERE THE TEENAGE
FRIEND GOT THE GUN REMAINS
UNDER INVESTIGATION BUT IT'S A
TRAGIC REMINDER TO PARENTS TO
KEEP YOUR GUNS LOCKED UP. A
PERSON COULD BE SUBJECT TO A
FINE OF UP TO THOUSND AND
IMPRISONMENT FOR AS LONG AS
THREE YEARS. SAN DIEGO ATTORNEY
AND LEGAL ANALYST DAN EATON
SAYS WHEN A CHILD IS GIVEN
ACCESS TO A GUN RESULTING IN
GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH,
THAT CRIME IS A FELONY CALLED
CRIMINAL STORAGE OF A FIREARM
IN THE FIRST DEGREE. IT'S NOT
JUST ANY ADULT IF YOU HAVE A
FIREARM IN YOUR HOME AND IT IS
LIKELY OR REASONABLY LIKELY
THAT A CHILD IS GOING TO HAVE
ACCESS TO THAT FIREARM LOCK IT
UP BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T
POTENTIALLY YOU COULD FACE A
CRIMINAL CHARGES AND THE GUN
DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE LOADED
FOR CRIMINAL CHARGES TO BE
BROUGHT IF IT'S AN UNLOADED
FIREARM THAT'S NOT KEPT IN A
LOCKED CONTAINER OR A SECURE
LOCATION AND THE MINER GETS IT
AND LOADED HIMSELF OR HERSELF
AND CAUSES GREAT BODILY HARM OR
DEATH. THE CRIMINAL RESPONSE
ABILITY IS GOING TO BE THE
SAME. MAX HAD JUST GRADUATED
FROM ROGER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
AND WAS SET TO ATTEND HILLTOP
MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE FALL. WHO
GOES HOME AND THINKS THEIR 12
YEAR OLD BROTHER IS ONLY 12?
YOU KNOW HE HAD SO MUCH TO LIVE
FOR. HE STILL HAD HIS WHOLE
LIFE AHEAD OF HIM. NOW NEEDLESS
TO SAY THAT FAMILY IS
DEVASTATED. THEY HAVE SET UP A
GOFUND GOFUND ME PAGE AND WE'VE
POSTED A LINK AT CBS8 OUTCUE
CARLA. DAVID, THIS IS A TRAGIC
STORY. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR
ABOUT THIS BUT AS YOU REPORTED
,WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE
THAT GUN CAME FROM. ARE THERE
ANY INDICATIONS IT WAS FROM
THAT TEENAGER'S OWN HOME OR
COULD THAT GUN HAVE COME FROM
SOMEPLACE ELSE? EITHER ONE THE
POLICE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING
WHERE THAT GUN CAME FROM. BUT
I'LL TELL YOU IF ANY ADULT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING THAT BOY
ACCESS TO THAT WEAPON, THAT
ADULT CAN BE CHARGED WITH A
FELONY AND THE MAXIMUM PENALTY
THREE YEARS IN PRISON. SUCH A
TRAGEDY AND A PREVENTABLE ONE
AT THAT. DAVID GOTFREDSON
REPORTING LIVE. THANKS, DAVID.

PILES OF TRASH AND OVERFLOWING
CANS WHICH IS MAKING THE SEVERE

ALI'S CUPCAKE TRASH. IT'S
CRAZY. THERE'S BEEN A LOT TRASH
ESPECIALLY IN THE ALLEYWAYS.
THE EXCESSIVE TRASH PILES AND
OVERFLOWING CANS CONTRIBUTE TO
THE SEVERE FLY PROBLEM IN THE
ALLEYWAYS SOMETHING WHICH
RESIDENTS AND VACATIONERS KNOW
ALL ABOUT. THERE'S A PRETTY
GOOD AMOUNT FLIES AROUND
ESPECIALLY AFTER WEEEKEND LIKE
THIS LIKE THERE'S FLIES
EVERYWHERE DURING SUMMER MONTHS
MISSION BEACH HAS TRADITIONALLY
SEEN AN INFLUX OF OUT OF TOWN
VISITORS, MANY STAYING IN SHORT
TERM RENTALS IN THE AREA AND
THE TRASH STACKS UP QUICKLY. SO
WE WENT UP WITH OPEN FOOD AND
GARBAGE MARLIN WHITFIELD AND
KADE HILKE ARE VACATIONING FROM
PHENIX AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO
FIND ANY MORE ROOM IN THEIR
BINS. COME OUT, WE THROW STUFF
AWAY AND THERE'S JUST NO WAY TO
PUT EVERYTHING ELSE THEY NEED
TO PUT LIKE A BIG DUMPSTER
AROUND HERE OR SOMETHING
BECAUSE WE NEED SOMEWHERE TO
THROW IT AWAY. THE RECENTLY
APPROVED BUDGET FOR THE CITY
OF SAN DIEGO IS NOW FUNDING
ADDITIONAL TRASH RECYCLING
PICKUPS FOR MISSION BEACH
STARTING THIS WEEK. THE
ADDITIONAL PICK UP IS USUALLY
FUNDED FOR THIS AREA DURING
SUMMER MONTHS TO HELP WITH THE
FLY PROBLEM BUT IT WAS NOT
COVERED IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET

LITTLE MISS OPPORTUNITY THERE.
THEY'RE ALL OVER THE NEW
