The Kings County Elections Department is on high alert, after officials revealed Tuesday they recently received a bomb threat. The threat was made last Friday, just days after the presidential election. Details are sparse, and it’s not clear exactly how it was made, but it came after business hours. Kings County officials said the FBI and secretary of state found the threat wasn’t credible — but this hasn't been the only office to be targeted.

FRESNO, Calif. — Rajinder Singh Chauhan has walked over half a dozen miles every day since Oct. 9. He started in Bakersfield, and expects to reach his 350th mile when he reaches Sacramento on Friday. He’s doing this because he is a survivor of anti-Sikh killings that took place in India in 1984. And he’s not alone — neither in the march nor escaping violence. A number of activists in California’s Punjabi Sikh community are marching to the state’s capital.

FRESNO, CA – After a heat wave brought a string of triple digit days earlier this month, cooler temperatures are finally headed our way. In the coming days, expect to feel a little fresh, maybe even a little wet. The National Weather Service office in Hanford said Wednesday a cold system was beginning to move into Central California. The weather service doesn't expect any more days of triple digits this month. Instead, by Friday, highs across the San Joaquin Valley should dip into the 70s.
