We're still getting the details on last night's shooting in Rolling Hills Estates that left a lawyer, who was reportedly shot in the head, in critical condition. We believe the victim is Jeffrey Tidus, a name partner at the downtown Los Angeles firm Baute & Tidus.

All that hoopla earlier today was about a stolen car taken from the area. Deputies pulled the vehicle over and there are two suspects in custody.

We're getting the details in a bit, but it looks like there was some police activity where Rolling Hills Road and Portugese Bend connect. A caller reported that Sheriff's Deputies were out en masse, with their guns drawn. No one from the department could talk to verify details, except to say that whatever it was - no one got hurt, someone is in custody and it's over.

We'll keep you posted.

 

If you see this guy, call 911 immediately. He's Wynford Eugene Murray, a convicted child molester out of New York who has been seen in Redondo Beach. He's unregistered and get this -- he gets off on reading stories about having sex with infants. He has been in libraries, including in Redondo Beach, downloading that sort of literature.

Anyway, instead of calling up the business number of your local police station, Redondo Beach police want you to call 911. He is a transient and might be using a bike and living around the beach.

I'll have a full story coming up soon.

Here's a preview of photos that will appear in tomorrow's paper from today's search and arrests of the suspected mail robbers:

The L.A. Times on Sunday had this article about a Rolling Hills Estates family where the adult son is busted again and again by police for various misdeeds. When he directs his thievery at his parents' home, the dad decides to prosecute, hoping his son will get the help he needs under the court's jurisdiction. The son, though, gets beaten to a pulp by fellow inmates while awaiting his case to play out. I'd guess dad's feeling a wee bit guilty ... but really, what would any of us have done?
