• Man sentenced to 50-years-to life for Mountain View cop shooting (nbcbayarea.com) — A Union City man has been sentenced to 50 years to life for shooting a Mountain View police officer during a 2022 DUI traffic stop near Villa and Hope streets. The officer was hit at close range but survived and returned to duty. The case ended after officers tracked the suspect down the next day at a Fremont restaurant.
• The Air Force has retired its last operational HH-60G Pave Hawk, tail number 27045, more than four decades after the rescue helicopter entered service in 1982 (newsbreak.com) — The California Air National Guard retired the Air Force's last operational HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter with a ceremony at Moffett Air National Guard Base near Mountain View, marking the end of more than four decades of service. Local 129th Rescue Wing crews reflected on the aircraft's role in combat rescues, disaster responses, and humanitarian missions as the newer HH-60W Jolly Green II fully takes over.
• Leaders in action: Effects Coordination Board at 63rd Readiness Division (army.mil) — Mountain View hosted more than 150 Army Reserve leaders at the Sgt. James Witkowski Armed Forces Reserve Center for a two-day Effects Coordination Board focused on future readiness. Commanders discussed codifying the ECB's charter, realigning units using a hub-and-spoke model, and clarifying geographic command and control, all aimed at improving how Reserve units train, report, and support each other nationwide.
