First, today's weather:

Here are the top five stories in Roseville today:

1. To continue the week’s events honoring fallen police officers, two Roseville Police Department Honor Guard members stood guard at the California Peace Officers’ Memorial. A new addition to the memorial this year was the unveiling of a new statue honoring women peace officers. (Facebook)
2. The name of the driver has still not been released in the fatal collision that took Inderkum High School senior Anthony Williams's life on March 19 in Rocklin. The name cannot be released until the collision report is completed, which does not have an estimated time of completion. “Any time there is a tragic loss of life as a result of a vehicle collision, we take the time to conduct a complete investigation,” Lt. Scott Horrillo of the Rocklin PD said Thursday. No charges have been filed. (Gold Country Media)
3. In preparation for the June 7 statewide direct primary election, the Placer County Elections Office began distributing voter information guides to voters in Placer County May 6. The ballot includes several state and federal seat primaries as well as Placer County races including assessor, clerk-recorder-registrar of voters, district attorney, sheriff/coroner-marshal, supervisorial districts 1 and 2 and Twin River Unified School District. For eastern Placer County voters, it also includes Measure A, a proposal to reauthorize an additional 2% tax on lodging guests in North Lake Tahoe. Placer County residents who do not receive their voter information guides by May 9 or misplace their guide can view it on http://www.placercountyelections.gov. (placer.ca.gov)
4. From a memorial honoring World War II Japanese-American soldiers to the recently-dedicated Walk of Honor memorial in Granite Bay, Placer County has much to offer for those who want to pay their respects to the members of our United States Armed Forces. You can take a virtual tour through all of the many memorials honoring our soldiers at this link from Placer County. (placer.ca.gov)
