Officials praise California’s strict quake building codes after Tuesday's magnitude 5.4 temblor near Chino Hills.

Medals awarded to Minneapolis SWAT team in botched raid
Eight police officers involved in a December raid on an innocent family's home received medals from Police Chief Tim Dolan, three with valor and five with commendation, sparking outrage from Yee Moon and her husband Wang Khang who feared for their safety and later pursued legal action. The raid, based on faulty informant tips, left the house scarred but nonfatally injured. Chief Dolan apologized, an internal probe began, and a civil suit was signaled by the family’s attorney.
