On Monday, June 22, 2026, @PalmdaleSheriff Station deputies responded to a vehicle‑versus‑pedestrian collision near 6th Street East and Avenue Q‑12 in Palmdale. Deputy Barrios and Detective Martinez reviewed surveillance video and canvassed the area for witnesses.
Footage showed a white Toyota Corolla speeding southbound, crossing into oncoming lanes, and deliberately steering toward a skateboarder near the east curb. The driver made no attempt to brake, struck the victim, hit the curb, and fled without rendering aid. The victim hit the vehicle’s windshield.
Based on the video, statements, and evidence, investigators determined the act was an intentional assault with a deadly weapon. The suspect is in custody and charged with attempted murder. The victim remains in critical condition. Investigators believe this was an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the public.
“I am proud of the hard work and commitment shown by our deputy personnel throughout this investigation. Their attention to detail, persistence, and teamwork led to the identification and apprehension of a wanted suspect, reflecting the high level of dedication our personnel bring to serving and protecting the community every day.” Palmdale Sheriff’s Station- Captain Joshua Bardon

🚨DONALD TRUMP FELL ASLEEP AT HIS OWN UFC SPECTACLE
His White House UFC event was an enormous logistical headache and likely cost taxpayers millions.
It’s worse than you think:
⚫️ Secret Service deployment
⚫️ Presidential motorcade operations
⚫️ Air support and aviation assets
⚫️ Military and federal security personnel
⚫️ Temporary infrastructure and staging
⚫️ Barricades, fencing, checkpoints
⚫️ Additional law enforcement staffing
⚫️ Traffic control and road closures
⚫️ Emergency medical and response teams
⚫️ Communications and security equipment
⚫️ Event setup and cleanup
⚫️ Weather contingency operations
⚫️ Coordination across multiple federal agencies
⚫️ Disruptions to White House operations
⚫️ Security sweeps and venue preparation
All so Donald Trump could throw himself a massive UFC-themed birthday spectacle and reportedly fall asleep.
What a tremendous waste.
Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.
