Here are the top five stories today in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton:

1. The California Welcome Center Oceanside celebrated its recent renovation last week with an open house reception. The updated look reflects the surf-skate culture that is a defining characteristic of the Oceanside experience and draws so many visitors to our fair city. Drop by to check out the new digs and get treated to a Special Locals-Only Discount during Open House Week, March 14-19. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
2. On Friday, March 11 at about 8:30 PM, the Sheriff's Communication Center received a call of a shooting outside an apartment complex on Postal Way, in the city of Vista. When deputies arrived, they found a man in the parking lot who had been shot several times. Deputies immediately started life-saving measures. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. No other victims were found. (Press Release Desk)
3. Mark your calendars: Monday is Pi Day! Celebrated annually on March 14 (3.14), it's a day that returns us to math class with the reminder that the ratio of a circle's circumference to the diameter is 3.14, a number now represented with the Greek letter π. It's also a date where such spots as pizza joints and pie shops offer nifty, $3.14 promotions. Check the list to find deals near you. (Across California Patch)
4. On Friday, March 11 at about 4:00 PM, the Sheriff's Communication Center received a call of a suspect who forced entry into a residence in the city of Vista near South Santa Fe and Mar Vista Drive. The homeowner was not home at the time, but saw via their Ring camera system, a man kick open the front door and enter their house. (Press Release Desk)
5. Dog bites are costing California residents nearly $135,900,066 a year — more than any other state in the U.S., according to a new report. The findings from QuoteWizard used data sourced by the Insurance Information Institute to analyze where people might have to pay more insurance coverage because of their dog. California, Florida and Texas have the highest number of dog bite claims. (Santa Monica Patch)
