Giants Top Patriots In Super Bowl 21-17

CBS Channel 13 News - 1 hour 33 min ago

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York’s fourth Super Bowl title.

It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots’ bid for a perfect season.

This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game’s MVP award — and they took turns being brilliant. Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions. Later, Brady put together a run of 16 completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark.

But in the end, it was Manning who directed the nine-play, 88-yard drive that put New York ahead.

Fire Destroys Warehouse At Navy Shipyard

CBS Channel 13 News - 2 hours 32 min ago

VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) — A four-alarm fire that engulfed a vacant warehouse at a one-time Navy shipyard is under control after sending up plumes of smoke visible across the San Francisco Bay area.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the fire erupted around 10 a.m. Sunday on Mare Island near Vallejo.

Vallejo Fire Department Chief Paige Meyer said firefighters had tamed the blaze by 12:30 p.m. No one was injured.

Meyer says firefighters will monitor the smoldering ruin to make sure the fire does not re-ignite.

The 150,000-square-foot wooden structure at the defunct Mare Island Naval Shipyard was scheduled to be demolished sometime in the next year.

The Vallejo Fire Department says homeless people sometimes stayed in the warehouse and a campfire may have started the blaze, though no cause has been determined.

‘Chronicle’ And ‘Woman In Black’ Top Box Office

CBS Channel 13 News - 2 hours 40 min ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some unknown kids with superpowers have nudged out the world’s most famous teen wizard at the weekend box office.

“Chronicle,” with a cast of unknowns as youths who gain telekinetic abilities, debuted as the No. 1 movie with $22 million.

Sunday studio estimates put “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe’s ghost story “The Woman in Black” just behind with a $21 million opening.

Both movies packed in solid teen and early-20s crowds, Hollywood’s bread-and-butter demographic that had been giving movies a pass during a box-office slump late last year.

Hollywood finished the first month of 2012 with strong revenues that are running well ahead of last year’s lackluster receipts.

The previous weekend’s top movie, Liam Neeson’s “The Grey,” slipped to No. 3 with $9.5 million.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The grandmother who has been accused of leaving her baby abandoned in an area known for drugs prostitution denied acting inappropriately and disputed the charges in a jailhouse interview with CBS13.

Kit Samuel, 54, said she was trying to move her luggage after being evicted from a motel on Watt Avenue near Interstate 80 and set a car seat with her 5-week-old grandson down on the ground. The baby boy was left alone only as long as it took to make a second trip, she claimed.

“I was looking at him the whole time, I was only there for like, two seconds,” Samuel said. “They’re trying to make it like I left him out there for an hour or a long period of time.”

Deputies arrested Samuel after witnesses reported that the baby had been abandoned for more than half an hour while the grandmother argued with a security guard across the street.

A bottle of brandy was found underneath the boy in the car seat, and Samuel was intoxicated when she was taken into custody, according to authorities.

“The brandy was from the night before when I was there by myself,” Samuel said. “I wasn’t drinking.”

Samuel remains in the Sacramento County Main Jail on $60,000 bond. Her grandson is in the custody of Child Protective Services.

Thorton, Evans Lead Kings Over Warriors In OT

CBS Channel 13 News - 21 hours 54 min ago

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Marcus Thornton scored 28 points and Tyreke Evans had 26 points and nine assists to help the Sacramento Kings beat the Golden State Warriors 114-106 in overtime Saturday night.

The Kings scored the first nine points in overtime to win consecutive games for the second time this season.

Dorrell Wright scored 24 points for Golden State, which made a season-high 16 3-pointers. Nate Robinson had 20 points, Monta Ellis scored 18, Klay Thompson had 16, and Stephen Curry finished with 11.

Salmons made a 3-pointer and Thompson scored inside on the next possession to give the Kings a 107-102 lead in overtime. A drive by Evans put the Kings up 111-102.

DeMarcus Cousins had 21 points and a career-high 20 rebounds, the first 20-20 game for the Kings since Brad Miller did it on Jan. 14, 2009. Jason Thompson added 15 points and 16 rebounds, and John Salmons contributed 15 points.

Trailing by three points, Thompson made a corner 3, his fourth of the quarter, to tie the game at 102 with nine seconds left. Evans missed a long jumper with one second left to send the game into overtime.

Thompson and Robinson each had 12 fourth-quarter points when the Warriors outscored the Kings 26-15. They combined for Golden State’s first 21 points of the fourth quarter when both Ellis and Curry remained on the bench. Ellis and Curry were also on the bench for much of the fourth quarter in Tuesday’s comeback win over the visiting Kings.

It was the first time the Kings have scored 100 or more points in 15 games and only the third time all season that Sacramento has been in triple digits.

Thornton struggled with his shot in the first half, but made amends in the third quarter. The Kings guard made four 3-pointers and scored 18 points to energize Sacramento, who outscored the Warriors 34-22 and took an 87-76 lead into the fourth.

Thornton got going quickly in the third quarter, scoring 15 of the Kings first 24 points. His 3-pointer at the 4:51 mark put the Kings ahead 77-71.

The Kings are the youngest team in the NBA, at an average of 24 years, 347 days, and the Warriors are next, a mere two days older. Their youth was evident at times in a fast-paced game that had a combined 39 turnovers

Wright scored 19 points and Ellis had nine in the opening half when the Warriors took a 54-53 lead into the break. Cousins had 12 points and eight rebounds, Thornton scored 10 points, and Thompson added nine points and nine rebounds.

NOTES: The Warriors made eight of 12 3-pointers in the first half. . Wright exceeded his previous season high of 23 points with a baseline drive for a basket midway through the third quarter. . The lead changed hands 20 times in a tight first half where the biggest lead for either team was five points. . The Kings recalled second-year C Hassan Whiteside from the Reno Bighorns of the NBA Development League.

Man Tries Robbing Bank With Apple Pies

CBS Channel 13 News - Sun, 02/05/2012 - 05:06

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A robbery suspect was arrested Saturday after allegedly attempting to hold up an East Sacramento bank by claiming a bag containing apple pies was actually a bomb, authorities said.

The Sacramento Police Department said 33-year-old Daniel Hedwood entered the Wells Fargo bank on the 3000 block of Capitol Avenue shortly after 1:15 p.m. and demanded cash from a teller, claiming that a fast-food bag he was holding contained a bomb.

Hegwood fled on foot, leaving the bag behind, but was quickly arrested by officers in a nearby parking garage, police said. Hegwood resisted arrest and again claimed he was in possession of an explosive device, according to authorities.

Bomb technicians inspected the bag inside the bank and determined that the only items inside the bag were two apple pies.

Hegwood was arrested on charges of robbery, resisting arrest and other charges and is being held without bail due to violating his parole.
