Golf course hazard kills two
This from LA Now:
San Jacinto police and Riverside County firefighters responded to the 900 block of Idyllwild Drive about 1:20 a.m. after someone reported seeing fireworks at what used to be San Jacinto Golf Center, said Herlinda Valenzuela, a spokeswoman for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
"They thought it was fireworks, but once we got there, it was actually a fire," Valenzuela said.
It appeared that the two men had been stealing wires from a transformer and, in the process, accidentally electrocuted themselves, she said.
