A man was shot in the arm, fires were set and bottles were thrown at police officers late Wednesday as revelers celebrated the San Francisco Giants winning the World Series, authorities said.

Shortly after the game a man was shot in the Mission District, at 21st and Valencia streets, said San Francisco police Officer Gordon Shyy. The bullet hit his arm and he sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect was at-large and there was no description available.

Some people started bonfires with debris in the Mission District, Shyy said. Most of the flames were extinguished by firefighters and police officers.

"There's a few more that were set that we're still working on," Shyy said.

TV news footage showed officers in riot gear deployed in the Mission District, as crowds took to the streets. After officers moved people out of the Mission District, fans moved to 24th Street and started dancing.

On Market Street, fans were throwing bottles at officers, Shyy said. It's unknown whether...

A 38-year-old man who was killed when the paraglider he was flying crashed into the side of a mountain near San Jacinto was identified Wednesday as David Pearson of Los Angeles.

Pearson sustained fatal injuries during the crash Tuesday and was pronounced dead at the scene, the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner's office said in a statement.

Witnesses reported the crash in the 200 block of Soboba Road about 10 a.m., authorities said. The sheriff's aviation unit, firefighters and paramedics found Pearson’s body about 600 feet up the side of the mountain.

Coroner's officials had to be hoisted from a helicopter to the scene. After the preliminary investigation was complete, Pearson's body was flown to the base of the mountain. The exact cause of death has not been determined pending an autopsy.

Anyone with additional information is asked to call the San Jacinto Police Department at (951) 654-2702.

Health officials Wednesday were reviewing the quarantine they set for a Stanford doctor who was treating Ebola patients in Liberia after the state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their own quarantine guidelines.

When Dr. Colin Bucks arrived at San Francisco International Airport last week, there were no state or CDC guidelines, said Robyn Thaw, spokeswoman for the San Mateo County Health System.

The county health system “is in the process of reviewing them to ensure our directive is in alignment with the new CDC guidelines defined as a healthcare worker with ‘some risk,’ ” Thaw said.

Bucks has not shown any symptoms of Ebola. He takes his temperature and reports back to San Mateo County Health System staff twice a day.

Bucks was told by the county health department to stay away from work and avoid close contact with people for 21 days. He was allowed to go jogging alone, Thaw said.

“We are very proud of the work this physician has done," said Dr. Scott Morrow, a...

The pilot of a commercially owned military jet died Wednesday after his plane crashed just east of Pacific Coast Highway in Port Hueneme, officials said.

The Hawker Hunter MK-58 was operated by Airborne Tactical Advantage Co., a Navy contractor that simulates threats during training missions, said Kimberly Gearhart, a spokeswoman for Naval Base Ventura County.

It crashed while approaching the base with the intention to land there, and the pilot was the only person aboard, she said.

A Ventura County Fire Department spokesman said the crash occurred in a field near Hueneme Road at 5:13 p.m. Ventura County sheriff's officers responded to the scene, he said.

ATAC spokesman Matt Bannon said all the company's pilots are former military pilots with at least 2,000 hours of flight experience.

The identity of the pilot in Wednesday's crash is being withheld pending notification of his family, Bannon said.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are...

UC Berkeley’s administration is insisting that a campus speech by Bill Maher will proceed as scheduled in December despite opposition from students who say the offer should be rescinded to protest what they allege were anti-Muslim statements by the political satirist.

Citing Maher’s right to free speech, UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas B. Dirks said in a statement that “the invitation will stand, and [I look] forward to welcoming Mr. Maher to the Berkeley campus."

The statement noted that the decision “does not constitute an endorsement” of any of Maher’s views although it supports the television personality’s right to express them.

“More broadly, this university has not in the past and will not in the future shy away from hosting speakers who some deem provocative,” the statement said.

Maher, a comedian, author and host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” was asked to speak at UC Berkeley’s mid-year commencement on Dec. 20. But protesters wanted Maher to be disinvited because of...

Former rap impresario Marion "Suge" Knight and comedian Micah "Katt" Williams were arrested and charged Wednesday after allegedly stealing a camera from a photographer in Beverly Hills last month, officials said.

Knight, 49, and Williams, 43, were each charged with one count of robbery in connection with the Sept. 5 incident, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. 

Knight was arrested Wednesday in Las Vegas; Williams at an Inglewood court house where he was due for an arraignment in a separate assault case.

Beverly Hills police Sgt. Max Subin said the investigation began Sept. 5 after Knight and Williams walked out of a studio and came across a photographer.

The pair allegedly chased the woman down an alley, where Williams grabbed the woman's camera "forcibly," Subin said. She sustained minor injuries in the incident.

Police quickly arrived on scene, Subin said, but Knight and Williams were already gone.

The investigation remains ongoing. Subin said detectives were...
