Weather forecast:
• Suspect in Critical Condition Following Deputy-Involved Shooting in Lake Forest (crimevoice.com) — Deputies shot and critically injured a man at Rimgate Park in Lake Forest after a late-night pursuit that began in Rancho Mission Viejo and followed reports he was armed. Investigators recovered a handgun and large knife, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office is now leading the review, with body-camera and other recordings expected to be released as required by law.
• Amazon halts California sales for e-bikes exceeding state speed limit (cbsnews.com) — A deadly April crash outside El Toro High School in Lake Forest, where a substitute teacher later died after being struck by a teen on an e-motorcycle, is among several incidents prompting Amazon to halt sales of certain higher-speed e-bikes in California. State officials are urging parents and riders to check whether fast electric bikes are actually mopeds or motorcycles requiring licenses.
• 13-Year-Old Boy Who Died On E-Motorcycle Remembered For 'Happy Energy': Report (patch.com) — A 13-year-old Santa Ana boy died after crashing an electric motorcycle in Garden Grove, where friends have created a memorial at the scene. The story also notes an earlier Lake Forest case in which a teen on an illegal high-powered e-motorcycle struck a Vietnam veteran, leading to serious criminal charges against his mother and renewed concern about e-moto safety countywide.
