LOS ANGELES — The Kings white-knuckled their way through regulation, taking the Calgary Flames to overtime, losing 2-1, at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday night. Adrian Kempe scored a rare first-period goal for the Kings, who couldn’t muster another the rest of the way. Darcy Kuemper made 36 of 38 saves. Blake Coleman tallied shorthanded and Morgan Frost won it in overtime. Local product Dustin Wolf came up with 20 of 21 stops. The Kings extended their points streak to four games but lost for the eighth time in their past dozen games while Calgary won for the eighth time in…
INGLEWOOD — A purple haze hovered like a metaphorical halo over SoFi Stadium. How many times could Jedd Fisch set the record straight? Washington’s head coach had already addressed Friday that he was planning on remaining with the Huskies beyond the Bucked Up LA Bowl on Saturday night. Fisch had been linked to jobs across the nation as openings appeared — UCLA and Florida in particular — and the question is sure to arrive postgame once again after Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham committed himself to the Sun Devils, denying Michigan, which fired former head coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday…
By KIMBERLEE KRUESI, JENNIFER McDERMOTT and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A shooter dressed in black killed at least two people and wounded nine others at Brown University on Saturday during final exams on the Ivy League campus, authorities said, and police were searching for the suspect.

Another person was injured by fragments from the shooting, but it was not clear if the victim was a student, she said. Officers scattered across the campus and into an affluent neighborhood filled with historic…
LOS ANGELES — The No. 1 Connecticut women’s basketball team came to L.A. on Saturday and demolished No. 16 USC, 79-51 – and I’m so sorry, UCLA. I watched the Huskies – who came into the nationally televised non-conference showdown as 20-point favorites – run the Trojans out of their own gym and couldn’t stop thinking about the No. 4-ranked Bruins. The better-than-ever Bruins. The big-dreaming Bruins. The now-or-never Bruins who came into this season with a senior-stacked squad, healthier and hungrier and with extended range and improved floor spacing. And, yes, national player-of-the-year candidate Lauren Betts back at center…

CYPRESS — After chasing the presumptive 2-year-old champion Ted Noffey and a $3 million colt named Brant in his earlier races, Litmus Test faced a decidedly less star-studded field in the Los Alamitos Futurity on Saturday. But that’s not why Litmus Test won the $200,000, Grade II race, trainer Bob Baffert insisted after sending out the 1-2-3 finishers. “He’s getting better,” Baffert said in the winner’s circle. “He ran better today than he did in the Breeders’ Cup.” Litmus Test, fourth behind winner Ted Noffey in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar last time out, scored a solid 1-1/4-length…

(AP) — A shooter dressed in black killed at least two people and wounded eight others at Brown University on Saturday during final exams on the Ivy League campus, authorities said, and police were searching for the suspect. Officers scattered across the campus and into a neighborhood filled with stately brick homes, searching academic buildings, backyards and porches for hours after the shooting erupted. The suspect was a male in dark clothing who was last seen leaving the engineering building where the attack happened, said Timothy O’Hara, Deputy Chief…
By SAMAR KASSABALI, BASSEM MROUE and SEUNG MIN KIM DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday that “there will be very serious retaliation” after two U.S. service members and one American civilian were killed in an attack in Syria that the United States blames on the Islamic State group. “This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them,” he said in a social media post. The American president told reporters at the White House that Syria’s president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, was “devastated by what…
