FATAL CONFRONTATION: A woman who was shot and killed during a standoff with sheriff’s deputies on a Kern County highway was identified Thursday as Suzannah Casas Cody of Granada Hills (B1). . . . On Wednesday, Cody led deputies on a high-speed chase and was shot afterward when she apparently pointed a gun at officers. Cody had a previous standoff with police in February.

BOOKIN’: Need something to do on a Saturday night? How about curling up with a book . . . in a bookstore full of other people? With thousands of books to browse through, nearby coffee shops and late hours, Valley bookstores offer a casual night out for people like Harry Martinez of Sherman Oaks, above, at Barnes & Noble in Encino. See Valley Life!, Page 23.

SCARY TASK: Nightmares are part of the job for Sun Valley special effects wizard Steve Johnson. But when he was hired at the last minute for the new film “Species,” which opens today, Johnson encountered a nightmare of his own: He had to build an alien creature in half the normal time. See Valley Life!, Page 3, to see how Johnson did it. . . . Then check out Peter Rainer’s review of “Species” on F8.

SUPER BOWLER: Tish Johnson is literally bowling for dollars. . . . The Northridge resident may soon become the fifth professional woman bowler ever to win $100,000 or more in one season. The reason: increased television and corporate interest in the Ladies Professional Bowlers Tour (C10). Said Johnson: “I think the tour is really going to explode in the next few years.”
