SAN DIEGO - After a 5-hour standoff Sunday, a man who had climbed to the top of a building at FBI headquarters was taken into custody, officials said.

The man, whose motive was unknown, had climbed a 7-foot-tall security fence at the FBI headquarters in the Sorrento Valley neighborhood about noon. He may have injured himself in the process of scaling the fence.

Unable to get into the main FBI building, he instead went to an adjacent parking structure and from there to the roof of a one-story annex building, officials said.

For hours, FBI negotiators tried to persuade the man to surrender....

Authorities were trying to determine whether excessive weight was to blame for the collapse of a stage during a performance at Servite High School in Anaheim on Saturday night, injuring about two dozen students.

About 250 girls from Rosary High School, Servite's sister Catholic school, were on the stage when it collapsed, Anaheim Police Department spokesman Lt. Tim Schmidt told The Times.

"Early investigations suggest the front of the stage gave out due to weight," Schmidt said. The Anaheim Fire Department was on the scene soon after the incident, trying to determine the cause of the collapse....

A rookie LAPD officer badly injured in Beverly Hills on Friday when a large truck slammed into her police cruiser and killed her partner has been released from the hospital, a department spokeswoman said.

The officer, originally listed in critical condition and known publicly only as Stephanie because her full name has not been released by the department, was released Saturday night from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said LAPD spokeswoman Rosario Herrera. 

Los Angeles Police Commission President Steve Soboroff visited Stephanie on Friday and later said she suffered facial bruises and was in a...

Two portable medical facilities set up near the L.A. Marathon’s finish line in Santa Monica were packed Sunday afternoon with injured and dehydrated runners seeking relief from the 26.2-mile race.

Alexis Perez-Rogers, a first-year medical student working at one of the facilities, said more than 50 people had stopped for help since 11 a.m. 

"We have everything from ibuprofen to IV fluids, if necessary,” said Perez-Rogers. 

Most needed ice or water, but others sought additional aid in cots set up in the back.

At the other medical tent was a truck equipped with hospital beds, Perez-...

The cloudy morning was brightening, the pavement turning hot. The L.A. Marathon had been on for about four hours, and at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills – roughly the 16-mile mark – dozens of volunteers edged the course, eagerly bopping along with outstretched arms, handing water to passing runners. 

A pair of Boy Scouts tossed water onto grateful race participants. A runner leaned her head back and spread her arms, letting the water hit her.

A beaming Jordyn Jackson, 13, handed out cups to loping marathoners. It can be a challenge, she...

There’s often more meaning to a marathon than the self-revelatory affirmation that comes from finishing a long, difficult journey. Sometimes there’s much more.

Consider Mayra Molina, 37, as she waited eagerly Sunday morning under an orange banner in Hollywood marking mile 10 of the Los Angeles Marathon.

She and eight of her friends were each completing several miles of the marathon in a relay meant to honor  Diane Barraza, a friend who in October died of breast cancer at age 50.

Molina, a fourth-grade teacher in Montebello, said Barraza, also a teacher, had run 10 marathons. The...

Authorities are trying to determine what caused an auditorium stage to collapse during a performance at Servite High School in Anaheim on Saturday night, injuring about two dozen students.

Officials said most of the injuries were "minor to moderate," though some students suffered broken bones.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the students and their families," Servite High School said in a statement Sunday.

A 71-year-old woman in Palm Desert is recovering after being stung by a swarm of 75,000 Africanized honey bees, officials said.

Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mark Williams told the Press-Enterprise that the woman suffered more than 1,000 bee stings in the attack Thursday. She was hospitalized but is expected to recover, officials said.

"She was covered as if she had on a bee suit, and we threw her in back of ambulance, where our guys sustained bee stings," Williams told KESQ-TV. 

Officials said the bees flew out of a Verizon telephone vault that a worker had opened. The woman was nearby, they said....

Is this a road race or a comedy club? Looking to boost the spirits of the approximately 25,000 runners pushing through the L.A. Marathon on Sunday, onlookers lining the route often leaned heavy on the humor.    Take Sean Nielson and his wife, Kim. Standing near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue, he rang a cowbell and held a sign that read "Less Walken More Cowbell," a reference to a Christopher Walken skit on "Saturday Night Live." A red-faced runner saw the sign, smiled and pulled out her iPhone for a picture. "My son's gonna love that!" she said. Moments later, a...

As hundreds of midpack marathoners rounded the corner of 1st and Spring in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday morning, signs of strain were just beginning to show. 

With four miles behind them and the steep hill up to the Disney Concert Hall around the corner, starting-line smiles were dissolving into masks of determination.

But not for first-time marathoner Jesse Zigelstein, 40, of Los Angeles, who cruised by, grinning. “He looks pretty friggin’ happy,” said his wife, Jill Bernheimer. She wondered how long that would last: “He’s in this trying to finish, not to break...
