HONOLULU (AP) — Warren Upton, the oldest living survivor of the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the last remaining survivor of the USS Utah, has died. He was 105.
Upton died Wednesday at a hospital in Los Gatos, California, after suffering a bout of pneumonia, said Kathleen Farley, the California state chair of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors.
The Utah, a battleship, was moored at Pearl Harbor when Japanese planes began bombing the Hawaii naval base in the early hours of Dec.
Terrified customers at a Miramar IHOP ducked for cover in the early hours of Christmas morning after a triple shooting took place in the parking lot, according to newly released 911 calls.
Friends and families sharing a late-night meal were suddenly instructed to get down on the ground while what one caller described as a “shootout” took place outside.
Two women were killed and a man was wounded in the shooting at the IHOP on Miramar Parkway just after 1 a.m.
MIAMI GARDENS — If Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a razor-sharp 26 of 30 passing in each of his next two games, he’ll finish the season completing 74.7 percent of his passes and narrowly surpass Drew Brees’ all-time single season completion record of 74.4 percent, established in 2018.
There’s a chance that happens, but it’s a longshot, similar to the Dolphins’ playoff hopes.
It’s been that type of frustrating season for Tagovailoa, who leads the Dolphins (7-8) into Sunday’s game at Cleveland (3-12) having completed a career-best and league-leading 72.9 percent of his passes this season.
Tagovailoa was asked the possibility of establishing that completion percent record earlier this month.
“That would mean a lot,” he said, “but I think for us, right now, just trying to keep the main goal, the main goal and to find a win this Sunday and go on a run that we’ve been talking about in that locker room as a team, that would be a little more special than any other record I would say.”
That didn’t happen.
