A stabbing in “Sleepy Burbank” and a violent home invasion in Studio City left a military veteran seriously injured after being thrown to the ground, breaking both legs. Despite his injuries, he managed to shoot and kill the intruder. Meanwhile, a near catastrophe was narrowly avoided at Los Angeles International Airport when two jets—an ITA Airways flight to Rome and an American Airlines flight to New York—took off from adjacent runways just seconds apart. Air traffic controllers intervened to prevent a mid-air collision, and chilling audio captured the tense exchange as disaster was averted.
