Thousands Mourn San Diego Officer Jeremy Henwood

Gov. Jerry Brown and other elected officials attended the Friday memorial service for the officer.

1. Thousands of mourners, most bedecked in formal dress uniforms, filled a Liberty Station church Friday to pay respects to a San Diego
police officer and decorated combat veteran who was gunned down last weekend while patrolling an inner-city neighborhood. Among those saluting 36-year-old Jeremy Henwood at the late-morning memorial service were Gov. Jerry Brown, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis.

2. A Miramar-based Marine who was piloting an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet when it crashed in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico earlier this week was recuperating Friday from broken limbs, hypothermia and other serious injuries. Capt. Pete Brawn of Albany, Ore., and a weapons system officer, also based at the San Diego installation, spent about four hours in the ocean after their Hornet went down about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

3. The fish population at an area off the southern tip of Baja California rebounded by 463 percent over 10 years since it became a marine wildlife reserve, researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego said Friday. The 71-square-kilometer Cabo Pulmo National Park, once depleted by fishing, saw the increase between 1999 and 2009, according to a study of the area that appears in the Public Library of Science One journal.
