Gang member accused in Calif. attack that killed 4

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A paroled gang member is the suspect in a late-night weekend assault that left four people dead in a Sacramento home, including the gunman, police said Monday.

The suspected shooter is 26-year-old Xue Lor, said Officer Michele Gigante, a Sacramento police spokeswoman. She described him as a parolee subject to high supervision who was released after serving time on gun possession charges.

Lor was killed at the scene after police say he entered a home late Saturday and fatally shot a husband and wife who lived there, as well as killing a male guest identified as Lee Doua Cha, age 33. Another male guest was critically wounded.

Ailene Voisin: Kings are at a crossroads

Concerns in Sacramento over Kings' status

LOS ANGELES -- Owners of the Sacramento Kings have raised concerns about the city's ability to build a new arena complex in Sacramento by the 2015 NBA season, and a family spokesman said if those concerns aren't met the team will consider relocation again.

Is Jimmermania over? Fredette no King in NBA yet

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Far away from the NBA's brightest lights, Jimmer Fredette can walk into a restaurant or grocery store in California's Central Valley and barely turn a head.

California lawmakers don hoodies to protest Trayvon Martin case

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California lawmakers donned hoodies Thursday to protest the killing of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teenager who was shot to death last month by a neighborhood watch volunteer.

Kings off by a rebound

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Kings were one rebound from their fourth consecutive win.

Evans and Kings still trying to figure it out

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Keith Smart has been pretty slick about this whole ordeal. While his team's fan base was obsessing about the most important development in recent Kings history -- that being the tentative agreement reached for a new arena -- the head coach grabbed hold of Sacramento's other melodrama and very quietly revised the script.

Daniel Richards, president of the California Fish and Game Commission and a co-managing partner of scandal-plagued, local development company Colonies Partners LP, has found himself in the political line of fire, after a photo surfaced showing him holding a dead mountain lion he killed in what appeared to be a recent big game hunt.

Calif. game official killed, ate cougar in Idaho

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California Fish and Game Commission President Daniel Richards says that there is "zero chance" he will resign over a photograph showing him grinning as he holds up the body of a mountain lion he shot, killed and ate in Idaho, where, unlike California, it is legal to hunt the big cats.

Case against mom in microwave death of 2-month-old difficult

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- There was no dispute about Ka Yang's seizure disorder. Police detectives who investigated the microwave killing of her baby confirmed she'd been having them for at least six years.

Jimmer walked into a mess in Sacramento

Jimmer Fredette is a rookie, and he will be a rookie next week and the week after that. So for those wondering why the former Brigham Young University standout has spent the past two games on the bench -- and hello to all you impassioned tweeters from Utah -- that's the short answer.

Voisin: Jimmer Fredette's long-awaited debut 'fine'

He tried for normal, he really did, but there was no chance for normal. This was the Jimmer, the day after Christmas. This was his NBA debut, six weeks delayed. These were the Los Angeles Lakers. He was eager, he was nervous.

He was enveloped by fans, bolstered by family.

"My parents (Al and Kay) are here, and so is my brother (T.J.) and sister (Lindsay)," Fredette said about 90 minutes before the Kings stung the Lakers in their season opener. Fiance Whitney Wonncott "flew in this afternoon, so we opened up presents. That was fun. But I'm really excited about getting started. This is my goal."

Jones: Jimmer Fredette's first step is a good one

Nervous? Of course he was.

Jimmer Fredette is nervous before every game.

Yes, even a preseason game.

Once the game started against the Golden State Warriors, the Kings' highly touted rookie looked comfortable in his unofficial NBA debut, scoring 21 points in a 107-96 loss in Oakland Saturday.

Skeptics said that Fredette's high-scoring ways would not translate to the NBA and that he wouldn't be able to defend well.

The Kings, however, were pleased with what they saw.

Prison psychologist accused of faking rape

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento police responded to a 911 call from the Martinez home last April and found Laurie Ann Martinez lying on the floor, crying hysterically.

Her shirt was ripped open, her lip split, her knuckles scraped. She told officers she had come home to find a strange man who knocked her unconscious, raped her and robbed her. She went with them to the hospital for an evidentiary exam.

It was, police allege, all a lie -- one concocted to persuade her husband to move to another neighborhood.

Voisin: NBA 'little guys' assert their strength

For one of the few times in their existence, the little guys are taking it to the big boys. Many of the NBA's small and mid-size franchises are resisting David Stern, outnumbering their colleagues and putting the squeeze on the players who make the league what it is, for better or worse.

Can this marriage be repaired? Can the bulk of the 2011-12 NBA season be salvaged?

Good luck. There isn't a winner in the bunch.

With the players rejecting the league's latest offer, disbanding its union and preparing to turn the labor matter over to the courts, the situation transitioned from complex and frustrating to confounding and utterly unpredictable.
