Five things you need to know

1. Another California mass shooting kills 7

Another seven people are dead after California’s third mass shooting in as many days. As the state still reeled from the weekend shooting in Monterey Park that killed 10 people, another seven were gunned down by a 67-year-old suspect in Half Moon Bay on Monday. The suspect was arrested and police are still trying to figure out a motive.


2. Five billion people at increased risk of death due to trans fat: WHO

A new report from the World Health Organization claims that five billion people are at an increased risk of heart disease and death due to trans fat.

3. Tim Allen denies flashing Pamela Anderson on set of “Home Improvement”

Tim Allen has responded to allegations by Pamela Anderson that he once flashed the young actress on the set of “Home Improvement.” Anderson said the incident happened in 1991, when she was 23 and Allen was 37.
