📰 News we're reading

• Bodycam Shows Man Advancing With Knife Before Fatal Santa Monica Police Shooting: Video (patch.com) — Santa Monica residents are learning more about the fatal August 22 police shooting in Palisades Park, as newly released bodycam video shows a man advancing with a raised knife while an officer backs away. The footage, released in a Critical Incident Community Debriefing Video, details the recovery of multiple knives, lifesaving efforts by Santa Monica officers and firefighters, and ongoing investigations under California's critical-incident transparency laws.
   

• Music Fest Nixed Due to Coastal Erosion (newser.com) — A major beachfront music festival planned for Santa Monica later this month has been canceled after powerful surf and storm runoff eroded much of the sandy venue, making it unsafe for large crowds. City officials say automatic ticket refunds will go out within a week, while similar coastal damage is affecting Malibu, Dana Point, and other Southern California communities.
