Good morning, Stockton.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars Luneta Post 52 held a Memorial Day event at Stockton Civic Auditorium on Monday afternoon to honor fallen veterans—Rep. Josh Harder addressed the crowd to recognize their sacrifice.

Stockton police said two men in their 20s died after a shooting reported at about 4:45 p.m. on Monday in the 300 block of South San Joaquin Street near Sonora Street—homicide detectives are investigating the case.

Stockton Metropolitan Airport has opened its first-ever flight school through Flight Dogs, bringing local aspiring pilots closer to a career in aviation.

The school offers discovery flights for children (ages seven and up) and connects students with advanced training routes (a 30-minute flight to Hayward) to help ease the commute.

Stockton’s interim city manager Steve Colangelo hired Lathrop’s experienced city manager Stephen Salvatore as an advisor for $11,000 a month using city funds without council approval.

Some city staff and councilmembers voiced concerns — they noted the special contract did not follow standard practices — and said it could strain funding.

May is Drowning Prevention Month and experts say Stockton parents must keep children under close watch at pools and waterways—drowning remains a top cause of death for young children.

Officials advise enrolling kids in certified swim lessons, installing secure pool fencing, and learning CPR to help prevent incidents.
