1. Juvenile Arrested In Vista Drive-By Shooting (patch.com) — An Oceanside teen has been arrested in connection with a Vista drive-by shooting that injured a restaurant patron, after investigators used automated license plate readers to track a suspect vehicle.

3. Stone Brewing sold to new owners as hundreds of workers face layoffs (cbs8.com) — Oceanside beer fans may notice Stone Brewing's local footprint shrinking after its sale to Firestone Walker and Duvel, a move that leaves Escondido facilities facing major layoffs and an eventual wind-down.
