Four days after the murder of an elderly couple in their Mountain View home, Anchorage community members are coming out in full support of the family of the victims of Saturday's brutal attack.

"You're walking on the beach and there are two sets of footsteps," Don Megga spoke to a crowd of hundreds. "You look down and now there's one. I don't know if you understand what's going on right now, brother, but God is holding you and carrying you through this moment."

Hundreds listened to the poem read by millions across the world. Only now the verses hit that much closer to home. Just like the poem alluded to God carrying the heavy hearted along the beach, so did the Anchorage community lift up a grieving family to support them along their way.

"This is a pretty dark thing to happen," said event organizer Mariam Aarons. "It's really uplifting that our community can come together and show the family some love and support."

Through online donations, a car wash and a benefit concert event organizers are hopefuly to give the victim's family a much needed distraction and financial help in order to get through these trying times.

"A community needs to have hope," said Kristin George. "When you have a tragedy you need to have that moment. When we can rally together it's an opportunity like no other."

The Alaska Housing Finance Corp. says it's awarding $7.6 million in federal grants and tax credits to developers of a new housing project near Juneau.

AHFC says a Rasmuson Foundation grant and AHFC mortgage also will go toward covering the total cost of the 40-unit project in Douglas, which is expected to top $10 million.

Mark Romick is director of planning and program development with AHFC. He says the hope is for ground to be broken on the project by the end of this summer and for work to be completed next summer.

AHFC, in a release, says 25 of the units will be for families who earn between $21,163 and $48,920 a year and/or families with disabilities. The remaining units will be open for anyone, and the rent capped.

The Coast Guard captain for the port for western Alaska says that in hindsight, he wishes that agency inspectors had reviewed a Royal Dutch Shell PLC tow vessel as well as a drilling barge before it left on a voyage across the Gulf of Alaska.

The drill barge Kulluk ran aground Dec. 31 on a remote Alaska island Capt. Paul Mahler told a Coast Guard investigation panel Wednesday that he had ordered a non-routine inspection of the Kulluk but not of the tow vessel Aiviq.

A tow line between the vessels parted Dec. 27 and the Aiviq a day later lost power to its main engines.

Mahler says he was confident from conversations with Shell and its contractors that the company could perform the tow safely.

A Democratic state senator and vocal critic of Alaska's new oil tax policy is considering a run for governor.

Sen. Bill Wielechowski tells The Associated Press he's concerned about what Alaska would look like if Gov. Sean Parnell won re-election.

Wielechowski says people have approached him about running, and he says he's taking a look at it. But he says he's made no decision and has no timeline for a decision.

Parnell championed the oil tax overhaul that passed the GOP-controlled Legislature earlier this year as a way to increase oil production and industry investment. Critics of the tax plan, including Wielechowski, say it could devastate Alaska's budget.

Republican Bill Walker, who finished second to Parnell in the 2010 GOP gubernatorial primary, has said he will run again, as well.

A California man has been sentenced to four years in prison for conspiring to bring drugs into Alaska.

Federal prosecutors say 61-year-old Charles Ferris of Sacramento was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Anchorage.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack S. Schmidt says a joint investigation revealed that Ferris was involved in bringing oxycodone from Sacramento to Juneau. Prosecutors say on July 4, 2010, Ferris sent a drug courier to Juneau on a commercial airline and that person was carrying over 500 oxycodone pills.

An effort to name a mountain in Juneau after an avid hiker and former state employee has cleared a hurdle.

The Alaska Historical Commission recently approved naming a peak on Heintzleman Ridge in the Tongass National Forest as Mount Scribner, after Jon Scribner.

State Historian Joan Antonson says the matter next goes to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names for review.

She said there have been indications the U.S. Forest Service is not in total favor of the naming. A Forest Service spokeswoman says the agency hasn't taken an official position.

According to the naming application, Scribner earned appointments under several administrations as deputy and regional director with the state transportation departments. Supporters say that spoke to his good work and integrity.

Scribner died in a hiking accident in 2005.

Department of Fish and Game officials are hoping the 89 bears killed in a controlled program will give newborn moose living south of the Kuskokwim River a two-year kick-start on life.

DFG conducted the predatory control program from May 13 through May 27 in which staff members "removed" a total of 89 bears, including 84 black bears and five grizzlies in a 530 square-mile "Bear Control Focus Area" east of Aniak. The area south of the Kuskokwim River was formerly one of the best moose hunting areas, according to a DFG press release.

DFG spokeswoman Cathie Harms explained a disproportionate number of black bear kills is due to the bear's more efficient ability to target newborn moose. The area is also known to be populated with more black bears than grizzlies, too.

"Black bears are incredibly efficient in targeting newborn moose," Harms said.

Harms explained the goal of the control program aims to get two years worth of calves from newly-born to adulthood without the threat of predation.

"Calving has only just begun, and over the next four months we'll see the biggest impact as the moose grow," Harms said.

Sows with cubs of the year were not removed, according to DFG officials.

Department staff shot bears from a helicopter and brought them to Sleetmute, where the carcasses were skinned and meat was processed. Department staff distributed the meat and some hides to the villages of Aniak, Chauthbaluk, Crooked Creek, Lime Village, Kalskag, Red Devil, Sleetmute, and Stony River. The remaining hides would be sold at auctions in Fairbanks, Harms said.

A wolf control program has been in effect in the same area since 2004, but according to DFG officials, reducing only wolf numbers has not had a measurable effect on moose numbers.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game urges people outside enjoying springtime in Alaska to watch out for wildlife babies -- particularly moose calves and bear cubs -- and their protective mothers.

"This is probably the most dangerous time of year to be around moose," said Anchorage Wildlife Biologist Jessy Coltrane. "Cows will be dropping calves all over town soon."

May to early June is calving season for moose, making encounters with cows intent on protecting their calves from people and animals much higher. Last spring, several attacks by moose defending their calves were reported in the Anchorage area.

"If you're walking through a wooded area, you need to be extra vigilant," Coltrane said. "Those cows are so defensive of their little babies they will literally stand there on the edge of the woods watching you and if you take one step into their personal bubble, they'll come out hooves flying."

Like moose, brown and black bear sows are equally protective of their young and may be seen around bike trails, neighborhoods, and urban greenbelts.

The ADFG advises people to not assume young animals found alone are orphaned. The department says the mother is often nearby, so it is best to leave them alone.

However, if a young animal is seen alone for an extended period of time or is believed to be a safety concern, call the nearest ADFG office.

Tesoro has agreed to pay a $1.1 million penalty to resolve violations of federal air pollution laws.

The Environmental Protection Agency reached the agreement with Tesoro over alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at four refining facilities that produce gasoline, including one in Kenai.

EPA accused Tesoro of failing to comply with record keeping, reporting, sampling and testing requirements under the agency's fuel program. It said the violations also occurred at facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah; Mandan, N.D. and Anacortes, Wash.

EPA says the fuel program requirements are in place to ensure that gasoline complies with fuel quality and performance standards. If not, EPA says there could be an increase in harmful air pollution.

Tesoro is being required to implement a plan to prevent future violations.

The ice-clogged Yukon River, which has submerged much of the Alaska Interior town of Galena, is flowing again and so far sparing another community along its path.

Emergency responders say floodwaters are dropping Thursday in Galena after the 30-mile ice jam upriver on the Yukon River broke and began moving Wednesday evening.

Residents in the tiny downriver village of Koyukuk were bracing to be hit by flooding next. But lifelong resident Roy Nelson says that so far, ice chunks in the Yukon River are flowing quickly past the community of 95.

State emergency management spokesman Jeremy Zidek says the Yukon River has risen 15 inches in Koyukuk, 360 miles northwest of Anchorage.

The flooding in Galena lifted homes off foundations and led to most of the community of 500 being evacuated.

A Royal Dutch Shell PLC manager says the company increased its estimate of the power needed to tow its floating Arctic drill rig after the vessel ran aground off a remote Alaska island.

Marine operations manager Jonathan Wilson testified Thursday before a Coast Guard panel investigating the Dec. 31 grounding of the Kulluk near Kodiak Island.

Wilson says the pulling capacity or "bollard pull" for the rig had been 200 metric tons before it ran aground.

That increased to more than 300 metric tons when the rig was towed to Dutch Harbor for an eventual trip to a Singapore shipyard.

Wilson says the rig rode lower in the water after it was damaged.

He also says Gulf of Alaska weather in the year's first quarter is statistically the worst.

Two people have been charged with first-degree assault in the February burning of a man, after Anchorage police say they poured gasoline on him and set him on fire.

APD spokesperson Jennifer Castro says that Trevor Detwan Perry, 19, and Elshandrea Yvon Charleen Durfee, 20, were arrested Thursday morning in the burning of 18-year-old Joseph Sledge.

The incident happened Feb. 10, when police and medics were called to a South Anchorage apartment on the 9000 block of Durberry Street.

"Neighbors across the hall in the apartment complex reported they heard smoke alarms and when they entered the apartment they found (Sledge) on the floor on fire," Castro wrote in a statement on the case. "They grabbed a fish bowl to extinguish the flames."

Castro says Sledge suffered third-degree burns to his legs, and subsequently spent several weeks in the hospital.

According to a criminal complaint in the case written by APD Detective James Anderson, Durfee initially told police she didn't know anything about the incident, and was awakened by smoke alarms and Sledge's screaming. When Perry was questioned, he said Sledge had shown up looking for somewhere to sleep, and was "high and drunk and smelled like lighter fluid." After letting Sledge in, Perry told police he had walked to a Holiday gas station.

"Perry said while he was on his way back from the Holiday store he received a call from Durfee saying Sledge was on fire," Anderson wrote. "Perry said he ran home to find Sledge on fire. Perry said Sledge told him he was trying to light a cigarette when he caught fire."

Police spoke with Diane Perry, Trevor Perry's grandmother. She told police that Perry and Durfee lived with her in an apartment at the complex, and that she also allowed a third man, Zione Frye-Collins, to stay at her home.

Perry told police that Frye-Collins' father had shown her text messages that suggested her grandson may have set Sledge on fire while she was at church.

"At 1:28 p.m. on 2-10-13 Trevor wrote 'hurry up n get back im still setting this (expletive) on fire,'" Anderson wrote. "Zione replied 'wow.'"

Perry subsequently told police that she wasn't satisfied with Durfee and her grandson's explanation of events. She also said she found a box of matches she used to light candles in their bedroom, and found matchsticks on the floor near where Sledge had been sleeping.

"Diane said Elshandrea admitted throwing a liquid on Joseph to wake him up but Elshandrea refused to say what it was," Anderson wrote.

During a Feb. 20 interview, Sledge told Anderson that he had passed out on a bed in Trevor Perry's room on the day of the incident.

"(Sledge) said he woke up when Trevor and Elshandrea threw some liquid on him," Anderson wrote. "Specifically, Joseph said Trevor and Elshandrea were both there, but that Elshandrea threw the liquid on him. He said the liquid smelled like gas but they told him it was water."

Afterward, Sledge moved to a living-room chair and fell asleep again, where he woke up on fire.

"He said he was screaming for help but Trevor and Elshandrea did not help," Anderson wrote. "I asked Joseph why they would do this to him and he said because 'Trevor is crazy.'"

When Anderson confronted Frye-Collins with the text messages Trevor Perry had sent him, he admitted he had been at a McDonald's when he received them.

"Zione said by the time he got back Joseph had already been lit on fire," Anderson wrote. "Zione said Trevor was mad at Joseph for passing out on his bed and also for taking his car without permission the day before."

Trevor Perry and Durfee were arraigned Thursday afternoon.

The Air Force says a draft environmental impact statement on the proposed transfer of a squadron of F-16 fighter jets from Fairbanks to Anchorage will be released at the end of this month.

In a Thursday statement, the Air Force says the May 31 statement, on the planned move of the 18th Aggressor Squadron from Eielson Air Force Base to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, will also address moves to "re-size the remaining wing overhead/base operating support" at Eielson.

Alaska's congressional delegation, as well as Fairbanks leaders, have staunchly opposed the move, claiming that the Air Force's projected cost savings are inaccurate and that the loss of the squadron's 500 airmen -- as well as their families -- would devastate the Fairbanks economy.

"The decision on the Aggressors proposed move from Eielson Air Base to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson will be made only after senior leaders have an opportunity to review both the final Environmental Impact Statement and Pacific Air Force's Strategic Assessment and determine what action, if any, will be taken on the proposal to relocate the Aggressor Squadron and re-size the remaining support at Eielson," officials wrote.

Four hearings will be held in four days from June 17 through 20 -- in Palmer, Anchorage, Fairbanks and North Pole, -- to take public comment on the draft environmental impact statement. The hearings will take place at the Alaska State Fairgrounds, Clark Middle School, the Westmark Hotel and Conference Center and the North Pole Elementary School, respectively.

In addition, written comments may be sent to Mr. Allen Richmond, AFCEC/CZN, 2261 Hughes Ave, Ste. 155, Lackland AFB, TX 78236-9853.

The Air Force expects a final environmental impact statement and record of decision this fall.

Alaska State Troopers are continuing to investigate the Memorial Day rafting incident near Hope that left a British man dead days after he had summited Mount McKinley.

A Thursday AST dispatch says troopers were informed just before 4:50 p.m. Monday that 47-year-old Steven Morton of Cambridge, England had fallen into Six Mile Creek during a rafting trip. Troopers, a U.S. Forest Service officer and emergency medical services all responded to the scene.

"Investigation revealed that a raft operated by NOVA River (Runners) overturned, causing everyone in the raft to go overboard," troopers wrote. "Other boaters on the river pulled (Morton) from the water and started CPR. EMS continued CPR and was able to regain the patient's heartbeat."

Morton, who had reportedly reached the top of Mount McKinley May 23, was medevaced to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage, where he was declared dead at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. An autopsy has been scheduled for Morton's body at the state medical examiner's office.

NOVA River Runners' owner, Chuck Spaulding, said Tuesday that it wasn't immediately clear how Morton died. Water levels on Six Mile Creek were at 10.6 to 10.7 feet as of Monday night, near the high end of NOVA's usual boating levels of 9 to 11 feet; guides with the company typically suspend tours when depths reach 11 to 11.2 feet.

AST spokesperson Beth Ipsen says troopers didn't initially gather full details on the incident because Morton had apparently survived it.

"At the time we thought it was a medical assist," Ipsen said. "But now we're having to go back and gather additional information."

In an email to Channel 2 Morton's wife, Vanessa Langlois, says she knew him for about 10 years before they got married in 2012. Morton had five children, including three girls from ages 24 to 17, as well as a 12-year-old stepson and a 7-year-old boy.

"We are (devastated)," Langlois wrote. "He phoned before he left for the rafting trip. He was so happy to have (summited) Denali safely and was so happy to be coming home, talking about the gifts he was about to buy for the kids."

Ipsen says troopers are awaiting the autopsy results on Morton, but expect them to be only one element of an initial report on his cause of death.

"We still don't know exactly what happened," Ipsen said.

The Municipality of Anchorage has entered a $60,000 settlement with a man who claimed that local police harassed him, during a gunpoint arrest in the aftermath of a 2010 shooting at a Downtown Anchorage bar.

According to a copy of the settlement provided by City Attorney Dennis Wheeler, in addition to writing Matt Newman a check, all APD patrol officers will receive two to four hours of training in verbal communication and de-escalation by Dec. 31.

In an email accompanying the settlement's text, Wheeler says that the city sometimes settles cases based on the costs of defending itself, rather than on the merits of the case.

"The Municipality and the plaintiff engaged in a settlement process which resulted in both sides giving ground as to their positions, resulting in a resolution of the case," Wheeler wrote. "The plaintiff claimed over $450,000 in damages. The Municipality paid the plaintiff $60,000, to include his attorney fees and costs."

Police reports from the early hours of Sept. 12, 2010 say the incident involving Norman occurred at about 1:30 a.m. -- roughly half an hour after 21-year-old Mavaega Brandon Tautua opened fire outside the now-closed Rumrunners Old Towne Bar and Grill at 415 E St., wounding Angel Martin-Laura, 19, and Shawna Calt, 27.

Ofc. Charles Lochart III wrote that he and Ofc. Bradley Braeger had been securing the scene of the shooting when Newman approached and tried to walk past him.

"Ofc. Breager and I stepped in front of him and explained that the area was a crime scene and directed him to cross the street," Lochart wrote. "Newman was immediately hostile and belligerent, and refused to comply. It was only after we ordered him several times to the other side of the street that he complied."

Lochart says Newman soon began to complain to Sgt. Julie Shank and Ofc. Ryan Rockom that a friend's car was within the crime scene.

"As Sgt. Shank was explaining to him that the car was in the crime scene and couldn't be moved at that time, Newman kept yelling over her," Lochart wrote. "He was yelling profanities and refused to disperse, though Ofc. Rockom ordered him to leave several times or face arrest."

At that point Lochart moved in behind Newman, with Rockom announcing that he was under arrest. Newman twisted his arms out of the officers' hands when they tried to seize him, running west along 4th Avenue to the nearby Sunshine Plaza mall. Lochart, Rockom and Ofc. Patrick Gilbert were among those who pursued Newman, as he ran down one flight of stairs and then up another.

"We continued to chase him up the stairs," Lochart wrote. "Upon reaching the top Newman was confronted at gunpoint by Ofc. Gilbert who was blocking his passage."

According to Lochart, Newman sat down on the top step of the staircase, refusing to lie prone despite Rockom aiming a Taser at him, then pulling him down from behind.

"Newman refused to surrender his arms for handcuffing and was holding them underneath him," Lochart wrote. "I punched Newman in the left side of his ribs in an attempt to dislodge his left arm. Eventually we were able to place Newman under arrest after a short struggle."

Newman was taken into custody and remanded to the Anchorage Jail, on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Tautua, the suspect in the shooting, was sentenced in May 2011 to serve 12 years in prison for two counts of first-degree assault and one count of third-degree misconduct involving a weapon.

A weekend power outage is being blamed for the crash of a state computer system.

The Department of Administration on Thursday said major programs affected by the crash include child support and foster care payments, the Alaska Temporary Assistance Program, the Senior Benefits Program, Medicaid provider payments and unemployment insurance benefit payments.

No timeline was given for completion of repairs but department spokesman Andy Mills said in an email that the system was back online Thursday afternoon. He said the next step was to deal with the backlog.

Mills said complex computer systems are designed to be continuously operating for years. He said a sudden loss of power can cause them to crash.

A federal judge says the National Marine Fisheries Service made mathematical errors in estimating how many endangered beluga whales in Cook Inlet could be harmed or harassed by seismic testing.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason's decision this week was a partial victory for conservation groups and the Alaska Native village of Chickaloon. Those entities sued last year, claiming seismic testing related to oil and gas exploration in Cook Inlet would harm the belugas.

Gleason sided with the fisheries service on a number of other points.

A fisheries service spokeswoman says the error contained in the first so-called Incidental Harassment Authorization was corrected after being brought to the agency's attention.

It's not clear what the next step in the case might be. Gleason asked for additional briefing from the parties.

The U.S. Coast Guard has wrapped up its investigative hearing into the grounding of the Royal Dutch Shell drilling rig Kulluk, after nine days of testimony in Anchorage from key industry and government professionals.

On Thursday, the investigating panel looked into how Shell calculates risks before towing one of its vessels.

Jonathan Wilson, who managed the recovery tow of the Kulluk from Kiliuda Bay to Dutch Harbor in February, spoke over the phone from London. Wilson says the job was considered a "critical tow" due to a number of factors, including the state of the rig after it was damaged during its Dec. 31 grounding on Sitkalidak Island near Kodiak.

The Coast Guard says testimony taken during the formal marine causalty investigation hearing, held in the city Assembly Chambers at the Loussac Library, may lead to anything from new industry requirements to criminal charges.

A lot of the discussion with Shell had to do with procedure, as Coast Guard Cmdr. Josh McTaggart did much of Wilson's questioning.

"As you conducted the review, are you aware of any previous risk assessments for the Kulluk?" McTaggart asked.

"I believe there was one done -- I don't remember seeing it," Wilson replied.

The testimony will now be compiled and given to Rear Adm. Thomas Ostebo, commander of the Coast Guard's 17th District in Alaska, who may decide on new rules or charges as early as the first week of July.

Minesoreta Seng says she's still coming to terms after fighting off a man accused of killing her grandparents and sexually assaulting her 2-year-old daughter, in what Anchorage police call a random attack on her family.

More details continue to unfold Thursday about both the brutal Mountain View attack Saturday that killed Touch Chea, 73, and his wife Sorn Sreap, 71 -- as well as suspect Jerry Andrew Active's criminal record. Active, 24, is in custody for allegedly killing the couple, as well as sexually assaulting Sreap and her granddaughter.

Seng and her family are devastated, furious, and heartbroken about a brutal crime that will change their lives forever. While the details are disturbing, it's also a story of family and recovery.

According to Seng, who is 12 weeks pregnant, losing Chea and Sreap is still unimaginable for her and her family. Memories of the incident still keep her and her husband awake at night.

"We have nightmares, we can't go to sleep -- I'm pregnant and I can't even go to sleep," Seng said.

Seng and her husband came home from the movies Saturday night to find her grandparents dead on the floor. 

"She was naked and she did not have any clothes on," Seng said. "Her face was bloody, there was blood everywhere on the floor."

Seng and her husband had to break through the window to get in and check on their daughter and great-grandmother who were still inside. The child was in one of the rooms that they say was being blocked by Active, who was nude when they encountered him.

"I pushed it so hard and then he flew off the door, and then I saw him naked," Seng said. "I was very hurt because I had to see her without a shirt, and that really kills me."

Seng says she and her husband began to fight Active to keep him from running away.

"I grabbed him and he was punching me, I didn't want to let him go," Seng said. "He tried to escape to the door and he punched my husband and my husband punched him, and then they got into a physical fight, I got mad that he punched my husband, so I grabbed him and I held on to his sweater, and we was struggling out the door."

Seng said they were to communicate with Active during the struggle, but he didn't show any signs of stopping his attempt to escape.

"We told him, 'We are not going to let him go, you just killed our grandparents, you just killed our family,'" Seng said. "And then he was like, 'You are going to have to kill me first.'"

Active did escape temporarily but was arrested by police down the road. For Seng, the pain -- beyond the stitches and bruises -- includes coping with what happened to her little girl.

"The doctor said that he did something to her, and I cried so hard; I cried so hard I couldn't breathe," Seng said. "I was so stressed out and I had contractions, and my back was hurting."

Seng's family is leaning on their faith and the community to get through a difficult and angry process. She says they only wants to remember the good times with Chea and Sreap.

"They will always love us, and always be there," Seng said.

Seng says her family will keep fighting -- to make sure justice is served in this case for her daughter and her grandparents.
    
As the family deals with the pain, Seng says they are grateful for community efforts, including a Northway Mall fundraiser that brought in over $24,000.

The man charged with a double homicide and sexual assault of a minor after a brutal attack in Mountain View last weekend had spent the past years in and out of jail, ending back up in custody days -- or in some cases, even hours -- after being released.

Jerry Andrew Active's criminal history shows that when he was released from jail on parole, it didn't take long before he was back behind bars. In one November 2011 incident Active, 24, was released and remanded the very same day, according to a timeline provided in an email from state Department of Corrections spokesperson Kaci Schroeder:

On 1/30/2009 Active was arrested.
On 10/2/11 Active was released on probation and mandatory parole in Dillingham. 
On 10/4/11 he was remanded.
On 11/11/12 he was released in Anchorage.
On 11/11/12 he was remanded.
On 2/5/13 he was again released in Anchorage.
On 2/21/13 he was remanded.
On 5/25/13 he was released in Anchorage.
On 5/26/13 he was remanded.

Schroeder said Thursday that Active hadn't completed substance abuse and sex offender treatment that was ordered as a condition of his probation. He had the option to complete the treatment while incarcerated or after his release.

In 2009, Active was originally charged with 14 different counts in relation to a case in Togiak, his hometown. According to court records, those charges included sexual assault, sexual abuse of a minor under 13, burglary with a firearm and assault in the first degree. However, several of those initial charges were dismissed by the prosecution in the case.

In September 2010, Active pleaded guilty to three counts: fourth-degree assault, criminal trespassing, and attempted sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree. He had to register as a sex offender in the state's database.

In a Thursday email, Deputy District Attorney Clint Campion told Channel 2 that the Anchorage District Attorney's office is not able to address questions about the charges dismissed at this time.
