📰 News we're reading

• Man assaulted with machete dies after being struck by two hit and run vehicles in O.C.'s Little Saigon (newsantaana.com) — Westminster police are investigating a deadly incident in Little Saigon where a man, previously attacked by suspects including one with a machete, was fatally struck by two hit-and-run vehicles on Bolsa Avenue. Two Westminster residents have been arrested in the assault, while one driver remains at large, and investigators are urging anyone with information to contact Westminster police or OC Crime Stoppers.
   

• Masks to become part of life in California, but rules vary (wdhn.com) — Mask rules across California are shifting as the state eases stay-at-home orders, and Westminster appears as an example where masks are only recommended in Orange County, not required. The story compares stricter Bay Area and Los Angeles mandates with looser guidance locally, highlighting how enforcement and expectations can differ dramatically depending on where residents shop or work.
