74 years to life in prison for man who fired gun at Sacramento police officers
A judge on Friday sentenced a man to 74 years to life in prison for firing a gun at two Sacramento police officers while trying to evade arrest six years ago on an attempted murder warrant out of Yuba County. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Ernest Sawtelle sentenced Malcolm Xavier Wilcox Sr., 33, in the shooting, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office announced Friday. Wilcox’s prior first-degree burglary conviction, a strike under California’s “Three Strikes” law, was considered in his sentencing. Last month, a jury found Wilcox guilty of two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault on a peace officer with a semiautomatic firearm and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The pursuit that led to the shooting occurred April 11, 2020, when a Sacramento police officer tried to stop Wilcox, who was wanted on an attempted murder warrant from Yuba County.

Wilcox then slammed on his brakes, got out of his vehicle and fired three shots at the pursuing officer with a loaded semiautomatic handgun, according to the District Attorney’s Office. A second officer arrived as Wilcox opened fire. Both officers returned fire, striking Wilcox. Prosecutors said he

Iconic caboose moves through streets of historic Colfax
I had the chance to witness something I've never seen before, nor ever really thought I'd see. A more than 100-year-old train caboose rolled through the streets of Colfax, instead of on rails, as part of a relocation process to the 1905 depot across the street Thursday morning. Since 1969, the SP #863 wooden caboose has been a visual symbol of Colfax's railroad history at its perch on the corner of Grass Valley and Main Street. As part of a plan to move it to a more accessible spot at the depot, a team from Scott's Heavy Towing lifted the caboose onto wheels to make the delicate move.
