    Washington (Quincy News) — Market Recap: Wall Street ended Friday mixed as another semiconductor selloff weighed on technology stocks. The Dow rose 0.46% and the S&P 500 edged up 0.05%, while the Nasdaq fell 0.64%. All three major indexes finished lower for the week.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 4.5% Friday, and Intel shares fell 7.9% amid broader concerns about whether large AI investments will produce profits quickly enough to justify elevated technology valuations.

Oil prices fell sharply over the weekend after the U.S. paused strikes on Iran. Brent crude futures dropped to around $90 a barrel Monday after briefly topping $100 last week, easing concerns that higher energy prices could push up gasoline prices and add to inflation.

Today’s Focus: The week’s main event is the Federal Reserve’s policy decision Wednesday. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady, but investors will watch Chair Kevin Warsh’s news conference for signals about inflation and the path ahead. For consumers, a hold keeps borrowing costs on mortgages, credit cards, and auto loans steady for now, even as rate-hike odds have risen this week.

Big Tech earnings will also drive markets. Microsoft and Meta report Wednesday, followed by Apple and Amazon on Thursday. Investors want clearer evidence that heavy spending on AI infrastructure is translating into sustainable revenue and profit growth.

Thursday brings the week’s biggest economic data lineup, including second-quarter GDP and the Fed’s preferred PCE inflation gauges.

    MORGAN HILL, California (KPIX) — One person was killed, and six were injured after a shooting at a large party in Morgan Hill Saturday, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies were first called to Hale and Miramonte avenues around 10:15 p.m. for reports of intoxicated people in the street and someone throwing bottles at a car. However, deputies arrived to find what the sheriff’s office describes as a “chaotic scene.”

A shooting had sent more than 300 people running to leave the area. Brooks Jarosz, senior communications officer with the sheriff’s office, said deputies heard the gunshots and immediately called for backup.

Seven people shot at Morgan Hill party First responders found multiple people shot, and one of them was declared dead at the scene. The others were taken to the hospital.

Jarosz said some of the victims have been discharged from the hospital, but others have serious injuries and remain hospitalized. All the victims are adults.

The sheriff’s office initially said there were eight people who were shot, including the person who was killed. They later clarified it was a total of seven people.

According to the sheriff’s office, the more than 300 people were at an “unsanctioned party promoted through social media.” Jarosz added that the party was advertised as a “birthday bash” and was held in an open field. An area was set up for people to reunite after the shooting.

No arrests or suspects yet No arrests have been announced, and the sheriff’s office said they expect the investigation to be “lengthy and complex.” Crime scene investigators were at the scene overnight and into Sunday searching for evidence, Jarosz said. K-9s were also there to help with finding shell casings and other evidence.

Meanwhile, investigators said preliminary information is that a handgun was used and that they are looking for the person or people responsible.

“This tragic and senseless violence is entirely unacceptable. Our hearts go out to the victim’s family, those recovering from their injuries and everyone in our community affected by this traumatic event. We will work tirelessly until those responsible for this horrific act are identified, apprehended, and held fully accountable,” Sheriff Robert Jonsen said.

The Morgan Hill Police Department, Gilroy Police Department, California Highway Patrol and San Jose Police Department all responded to the scene and helped with first aid, scene security, traffic control and investigative work.

    VENICE, California (KCAL, KCBS) — Dangerous rip currents pulled two swimmers away from the Los Angeles County shore near the Venice Pier on Saturday.

“Yesterday was one of the worst rips I’ve ever seen,” witness Adam Rose said. “I mean, it puts the gnarly in the idea of a gnarly rip current.”

Rose captured both rescues on camera on Saturday.

“It was a relief because it’s a really scary thought that people are being swept out like that,” Rose said.

Two lifeguards from the Los Angeles County Fire Department battled through the powerful waves to rescue the two swimmers and return them to safety.

“That was an awesome display of that beach patron or that beachgoer staying calm,” lifeguard Pono Barnes said.

Barnes watched the video and said the swimmer did exactly what lifeguards want people to do: stay calm.

    LOS ANGELES, California (KCAL, KCBS) — Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood has fully reopened after a broken water main led to flooded streets and more than a week of repair work on the iconic and busy roadway, officials said.

According to the city of West Hollywood, the street reopened at about 11 p.m. Friday. The initial rupture occurred in the early morning hours of July 16, when a 36-inch LADWP steel main broke near Sunset and Horn Drive.

Resulting flooding damaged dozens of vehicles and led to power outages in nearby buildings and the temporary closure of several businesses. A massive sinkhole then opened up, leaving Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews with the prospect of filling and repaving the street.

“On behalf of the West Hollywood City Council and our entire community, I’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated LADWP crews who worked around the clock under extraordinarily challenging conditions,” said West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman. “I also want to thank our City employees, first responders, regional agency partners, local businesses, neighborhood organizations, and countless residents who demonstrated patience, resilience, and compassion throughout this response. We know this incident caused significant hardship for many people, particularly those whose homes, businesses, and daily routines were directly impacted. While reopening Sunset is an important milestone, we still have a lot to do to help our residents and businesses recover from this incident.”

The current repaving is temporary, the city said, leaving crews with the task of repaving the road at a later date. Permanent repairs will be made in the coming weeks, leading to additional temporary closures, the city said.

“Thank you to the LADWP crews who have been working around the clock to make repairs,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said. “LADWP is also accelerating plans to fully replace the original pipe to strengthen reliability.”

The replacement of the original pipe was scheduled to take place in 2031, according to LADWP, which Bass says will now occur sooner.

“Because this is a large, complex construction effort expected to span approximately four years, it will require detailed traffic management planning, close coordination with neighbors and businesses, and compliance with state regulatory processes and permitting,” LADWP said. “LADWP is committed to pursuing every opportunity to expedite legally required permitting and regulatory reviews, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).”

    DENVER, Colorado (KCNC) — Police in the Denver metro area used drones to find a dog that seriously injured someone Sunday morning before it ran away.

The Arvada Police Department said they were called to a home around 3:15 a.m. when a large gray and white pit bull bit “at least one person” in the home, causing serious injuries to one victim. Police later said the injured people were treated at a local hospital and that the dog’s owner was among them. They did not release how many people were attacked or if the owner was the person who suffered serious injuries.

The dog ran from the home and was seen by someone in the area of 67th Avenue and Lamar Street heading northwest.

As the search continued throughout the morning, police asked the community to keep a lookout and call 911 if they spotted the dog.

On Sunday afternoon, the Drone First Responder program located the missing dog. It was captured and taken to a local animal shelter.

    JACKSON COUNTY, Michigan (WWJ) — A harmful algal bloom has been detected in Michigan’s Center Lake, the Jackson County Health Department said on Friday afternoon.

A bloom happens when colonies of algae grow out of control and produce toxic effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals and birds, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Human illnesses caused by harmful algal blooms are rare, though they can be debilitating or fatal, federal officials said.

According to Jackson County officials, a bloom can look like spilled paint, pea soup, floating scums, sheens, clumps or streaks. They urge people to keep themselves and their pets away from the water and shoreline, and to avoid swimming, jet skiing, boating, or fishing in impacted areas.

“Clear water well away from the bloom is safe to swim in,” the county agency said in a Facebook post about the bloom in Center Lake.

Harmful algal blooms were reported at Lake Orion, Proud Lake and Walled Lake in Oakland County, Michigan, earlier this month, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

Anyone who sees suspicious-looking algae in Michigan can report it to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy by completing a form on its website or by calling the Environmental Assistance Center at 1-800-662-9278.

    DETROIT, Michigan (WWJ) — The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, is set to open to motorists on Monday.

Officials say cars will be able to cross it beginning at 12 p.m., while walkers and cyclists can use it starting Aug. 5. CBS News Detroit has been talking to businesses for the past seven months about the anticipation.

The $6 billion bridge is the first new crossing between Ontario and Michigan in 60 years. Businesses nearby are stoked about the opening, but so is Gordie Howe’s family.

“It means more to me because my grandfather was such a good person,” Azia Saubers, Gordie Howe’s granddaughter, said. “It wasn’t only about hockey, just the person he was and still is to us. It just means so much because he should be honored.”

The structure honors him by connecting one of the busiest pathways for goods between the U.S. and Canada. Hundreds of millions of dollars a day and roughly $70 billion a year. That’s good for business, especially at Six Spoke Brewing Company.

“Having the accessibility with the walking and biking portion is going to be huge for people,” Richard Chesstnutt, owner of Six Spoke Brewing Company, said. “The lower fees should be great too. Hopefully we see an influx of people, and on the other side, maybe more Detroiters in Windsor.”

The Michigan State Police will be monitoring people as they get off the bridge. Lieutenant Ty Howard has a message for those who are using the bridge.

“The only thing we can say is we expect everyone in the public to obey all the posted speed signs. Whatever you do, don’t stop on the bridge. I know this is a historic moment; people want to take pictures, but whatever you do, do not stop on the bridge and get out of your vehicle,” Howard said.

The bridge took 20 million work hours to build.
