All morning it was reported that the victim was a 50 year old male. Get it right KHTS !
I am sorry for the grandchildren of the dead lady. Awful to lose a role model.
How important was it to show the beat-up bike and back-pack of the poor dead lady. Her family will see that forever. Put more “thought” in your photos, please.
She was the perfect person, very nice woman! Like a mom to me. I’m very sad and worried about my mom as well because she travels often on buses and trains in Newhall and practically everywhere. She will be missed dearly, I’m still very sad and my heart goes to the daughter and grandchild.
