Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12. Here’s what’s happening in our city today.
Breaking news out of Harbor Island this morning—authorities are investigating a deadly crash after a truck plunged into San Diego Bay. One person has died, and two others sustained injuries. Harbor Police are continuing the investigation, so we’ll provide updates as more information comes in.
In other news, San Diego police released video footage of a tense standoff and fatal shooting in Miramar Ranch North. The incident involved a 59-year-old armed man who threatened construction workers before pointing his weapon at officers. SWAT team members engaged, ultimately ending the standoff. While no bystanders were injured, this serves as a reminder of how quickly situations can escalate.
On a lighter note, there’s exciting growth in San Diego’s tech and cybersecurity industries. The tech workforce has expanded to nearly 79,000 professionals with an average salary of over $100,000. Cybersecurity alone has seen a 31% growth, with an average pay of almost $150,000. If you’re looking for new opportunities, companies like Qualcomm and Northrop Grumman are hiring, and boot camps for tech training are widely accessible.
The University of San Diego’s baseball team had a big win yesterday, beating Saint Mary’s 10-1. Highlights included home runs from Connor Meidroth and Rex Watson, plus a stellar pitching performance from Logan Reddemann. The Toreros have momentum with three consecutive victories and will face Saint Mary’s again this afternoon.
Looking at real estate, home prices in the county remain high, with the median exceeding $800,000. New listings have slowed, and competition remains fierce. For renters, a newly opened shelter for young adults is doubling capacity, aiming to address the city’s ongoing homelessness crisis.
Culturally, the weekend is buzzing. The Earth Day Festival starts today at Balboa Park, featuring over 300 exhibitors, live music, and family-friendly activities. If you’re into music, the Waterfront Blues Festival kicks off tonight at Embarcadero Marina Park. And the Padres are back in action at Petco Park tomorrow, though they’ll be missing Jake Cronenworth due to a rib injury.
As for the weather, expect a sunny and gorgeous day with highs in the mid-70s downtown and a cool breeze along the coast. Perfect for those outdoor plans. Looking ahead, sunny skies stick around through the week.
Finally, a feel-good story. A Good Samaritan in San Diego Bay rescued a woman after her vehicle went into the water. In a heroic act, he swam out, keeping her head above water until authorities arrived. It’s moments like this that remind us of the kindness in our community.
This has been San Diego Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy the day!
