Today's riddle: What happened to the pregnant cat that ate yarn? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Los Angeles animal shelter faces security concerns after violent attack and earlier confrontations (foxla.com) — A violent attack at Los Angeles' North Central Animal Services Center left staff injured and has sparked urgent calls for stronger security, including armed guards. City leaders say security and mental health resources are now in place, but some animal advocates argue one unarmed guard isn't enough given repeated confrontations tied to the shelter's proximity to Skid Row.
• LAPD arrest 69 people, impound 200 cars at illegal street gathering in Harbor Gateway (latimes.com subscription) — Los Angeles police flooded Harbor Gateway over Labor Day weekend, arresting 69 people and impounding 200 cars during a massive illegal street takeover that drew about 700 spectators. City leaders say the 'Operation Street Sweeper' crackdown shows zero tolerance for dangerous street racing, with hundreds cited, firearms seized, and children escorted safely to a station for pickup.
• BTS Wraps Up North American Tour with 1.92 Million Fans, Highlighted by JUNGKOOK's Surprise Cue Card Event (sbsstar.net) — Los Angeles just hosted the final North American stop of BTS's 'Arirang' world tour at SoFi Stadium, drawing roughly 282,000 fans and setting new attendance records.
