The attorney for an accused Los Gatos “party mom

The attorney for an accused Los Gatos “party mom” who allegedly held booze-fueled teen sex parties made a plea for a judge to set bail for her Tuesday, but not before a group of her teen victims lined up to try and stop it. 47-year-old Shannon O’Connor appeared in a South Bay courtroom Tuesday clad in an orange jumpsuit.

Santa Clara County prosecutors say O’Connor — aka Shannon Bruga — hosted teen parties in Los Gatos for about a year. One of her sons — also a teenager — was involved in the parties.

The laundry list of 39 offenses — ranging from felony child endangerment and sexual assault to multiple misdemeanor charges of child endangerment and providing alcohol to minors — were detailed in a press release and charging documents filed by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office last October.

O’Connor was arrested in Star, Idaho, northeast of Boise, in October where she and her two teenage sons moved to earlier this year. She currently faces 39 charges including felony child endangerment, sexual battery, annoying or molesting a child, and providing alcohol to a person under age 21.

Her attorney made a request to set bail Tuesday. However, the deputy district attorney said multiple victims and their parents made a plea for the judge to keep O’Connor behind bars.

Some of them testified about the fear they would feel if O’Connor were released.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, one of the female victims said O’Connor “robbed me of my innocence” and left her with searing “memories I’ll have to live with the rest of my life.”

“The victims and their families showed incredible bravery to come forward today and make statements to the court about how they would feel if this violent defendant were released into the community,” said Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Rebekah Wise.

Currently, O’Connor is being held in custody on no bail. The judge is set to decide whether to set bail at a hearing scheduled for February 3rd.

Airlines are rushing to scrap or change flights to

Airlines are rushing to scrap or change flights to the US over the launch of new 5G technology. Experts warn we could see significant flight disruptions today. As of Wednesday morning, so far there are eight cancellations at SFO but that number is expected to rise throughout the day.

AT&T and Verizon are launching 5G service nationwide, but not at many of the country's major airports. The showdown between wireless carriers and the airlines began, when the "Airlines for America," an advocacy group, released a letter warning the 5G launch on today could interfere resulting in "chaos" at the nation's airports, and a "catastrophic" aviation crisis. Major airlines and pilots sound the alarm warning the new technology could interfere with flight systems. The potential concern is 5G interference with critical airplane technology. Airlines like Air India, Japan Airlines and others cut service at certain US airports.

"So what you have is two carriers who spent a ton of money setting up their wireless networks and 5G suddenly being told, 'Hey forget all that please shut it down don't use it,' and of course they're upset about that," says Ian Sherr, CNet. "The airlines want to make sure it is bulletproof safe. And I don't think a lot of people would argue with them about that."

Travel experts are telling KPIX the best advice is to delay your flights by at least a day if you can, to avoid what they are calling "chaos."

The scramble for COVID testing amid the Omicron su

The scramble for COVID testing amid the Omicron surge is ongoing, but the federal government is looking to provide some relief in the form of free self-testing kits delivered to your home.

While it was scheduled to launch on Wednesday, Jan. 19, the new covidtests.gov website went live a day early on Tuesday. It will allow users to order four free testing kits per household.

The rapid antigen tests will be sent by mail within 7-12 days after ordering. All that’s required is your name and address.

The government released the following statement regarding the availability of the site a day ahead of it’s scheduled Jan. 19 launch.

“Today, in alignment with website launch best practices, covidtests.gov is currently in its beta phase, which means that the website is operating at limited capacity ahead of its official launch. This is standard practice to address troubleshooting and ensure as smooth of an official launch tomorrow as possible. We expect the website to officially launch mid-morning tomorrow.”

The government has also provided an additional web page listing COVID testing resources.
While there are some indications that Omicron has reached its peak, some areas are still seeing an extremely high number of cases.

The first shipments of the tests should go out by the end of January.

As the Omicron rages on, Bay Area health experts b

As the Omicron rages on, Bay Area health experts believe we could be at a turning point in this latest surge of the pandemic, based on a decline in the virus’ RNA detected in Santa Clara County’s wastewater.

“It’s not infrequent that roughly after about 10 days when you see the drop in the wastewater you see the cases start to drop,” said UC Berkeley professor and infectious disease expert John Swartzberg.

According to a report of Santa Clara County’s wastewater, a decline in COVID-19’s RNA was seen on Jan. 8, and continued to drop for several days. It had peaked for several days prior.

The drop was followed by a decline in California’s positivity rate, which has also continued to decrease. The latest report showed the state positivity rate at 21.5% — a 1.3% decrease from seven days prior.

“I think there’s a good chance that we’re either at its crest or very near the crest,” Dr. Swartzberg said of the pandemic’s latest surge, which has been driven by the highly-transmissible Omicron variant.

But Dr. Swartzberg warns it could be awhile before hospitalizations and deaths follow the drop in cases.

“Our hospitals are going to have another two weeks that are going to be very, very rough before we see those counts start to drop,” he said.

It could take four weeks before a decrease in the death count caused by the virus, Swartzberg added. The question of whether this latest surge could be the last is unknown, he said. Swarztberg said the virus could mutate into another variation that is more transmissible and deadly, but the difference is today — we have vaccines and COVID pills that could save lives and prevent hospitalizations.

California is not alone. New York saw a 47% drop in cases last Friday, and states in the Northeast are also seeing a decline or leveling off.

A Bay Area woman was killed in New York City over

A Bay Area woman was killed in New York City over the weekend after being shoved in front of a subway train.

Michelle Alyssa Go grew up in Fremont and went to school at American High School. On Monday, her family and friends were mourning her loss after her horrific death.

Go was standing on a subway train platform and was shoved by a stranger into an oncoming train inside the Times Square station Saturday morning.

A witness to the attack said she will never be able to erase it from her memory.

“Ten seconds then train passed, the impact and she’s right in front of it, and then you saw her disappear from the tracks,” said Weber.

The suspect took off but later turned himself in. Police identified him as is 61-year-old Simon Martial, now charged with murder.

Police say there was a warrant out for his arrest for allegedly violating his parole.

Friends say Go spent the last decade advocating for the homeless and was trying to help those like her alleged killer.

“It’s a tragic loss of life to someone who was giving back to the New York City community,” said NYC Junior League President Dayna Cassidy.

Go had just traveled to the Maldives with friends to celebrate her 40th birthday and the New Year. The UCLA graduate later attended the NYU Stern School of Business and worked for consulting group Deloitte.

Go’s family asked for privacy during this time but released the following statement:

“We are in a state of shock and grieving the loss of our daughter, sister, and friend. We hope Michelle will be remembered for how she lived and not just how she died. She was a beautiful, brilliant, kind, and intelligent woman who loved her family and friends, loved to travel the world and to help others. Her life was taken too soon in a senseless act of violence, and we pray that she gets the justice she deserves.”

Family and friends will hold a candlelight vigil in Go’s honor on Tuesday at Times Square in New York.

Hundreds of students in the Oakland Unified School

Hundreds of students in the Oakland Unified School District are ready to boycott classes on Tuesday. Organizers say their demands to safely return students to school amid the Omicron surge haven’t been met.

There has been progress. Boycott organizers say the district has stepped up to provide KN95 masks and outdoor dining spaces. They contend, it now comes down to providing weekly testing. Boycott organizers say they will not budge on their demand for COVID testing.

Spokesperson John Sasaki says, “We have a robust testing system in place, and we were able to open our testing hubs last Friday and today. We are conducting onsite tests as frequently as possible, with some schools getting onsite testing twice a week and some getting onsite testing once a week.”

Some students though say they haven’t been offered testing yet and they want it available to all students at every school in the District.

Students say if all of their demands are not met, they want the district to move to online learning. The district has received support from the state and federal level saying keeping kids in school is the best way to proceed during this surge.
