At least three people died and six others were injured when a car crashed into a supermarket in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, while the search for "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother intensified in Arizona, and the U.S. military struck an alleged drug-carrying boat in the Pacific.
The Los Angeles Fire Department reported the car crash occurred shortly after noon at a 99 Ranch Market in the Westwood neighborhood. Three people were pronounced dead at the scene: a 55-year-old man, a 42-year-old woman, and a 30-year-old man. Two 35-year-old men were hospitalized in critical condition, and two other men, aged 38 and 37, were taken to the hospital in fair condition. Aerial footage showed the vehicle lodged inside the supermarket. The Los Angeles Police Department also reported that the same driver unintentionally struck a bicyclist about a block away from the market.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, entered its fifth day. Authorities are working to identify potential suspects and a motive in the 84-year-old's disappearance. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Saturday night, arriving at her daughter Annie's home at 5:32 p.m. before being dropped off at her own residence. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators believe Nancy Guthrie is "still out there." The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or the arrest and conviction of those involved in her disappearance. A ransom note, which investigators are taking seriously, included a deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday, according to Heith Janke, the special agent in charge of the FBI's field office in Phoenix.
The Guthrie family has issued a video message directed toward potential kidnappers. "Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you," said Camron Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's brother, in the video. "We haven't heard anything directly. We need you to reach out and we need a way to communicate with you so we can."
In the eastern Pacific, the U.S. military struck an alleged drug-carrying boat on Thursday, marking the second such strike this year and the 38th in the last five months in Latin American waters. Two people were killed in the operation, according to U.S. Southern Command. The military alleged the boat was operated by a designated terrorist organization and was traveling on "known narco-trafficking routes." A brief unclassified video of the boat exploding was shared by Southern Command.
