Police: Trio used stolen gun to kill 2
SAN FRANCISCO – Three young transients used a handgun that was stolen from an unlocked car to rob and kill a backpacking Canadian tourist in San Francisco then a yoga instructor two days later on a hiking trail north of the city, authorities said Friday.
The body of Audrey Carey, 23, was found Oct. 3 in Golden Gate Park. She had been shot in the head. Yoga instructor Steve Carter, 67, was discovered dead on Monday near a popular hiking trail in Marin County across the Golden Gate Bridge. He had been shot multiple times while walking his dog.
Police identified the suspects as Morrison Haze Lampley, 23; Sean Michael Angold, 24; and Lila Scott Alligood, 18. They were being held without bail. It was unclear if any of them are represented by a lawyer.
New Calif. law extends privacy rights to data

Civil-liberties advocates called the new law that takes effect Jan. 1 an important advance and said it highlights the need for similar protections at the national level.
The California Electronic Communications Privacy Act was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday. While some states guarantee some of its protections, only Maine and Utah previously had comprehensive laws on the books.
