I-5 may be shut down due to concerns over live-fire military event at Camp Pendleton [View all]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/i-5-may-be-shut-down-due-to-concerns-over-live-fire-military-event-at-camp-pendleton/ar-AA1OyAiB?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=68f0b0da217c40b4bc4713ec754fed3d&ei=16

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office is weighing whether to close parts of Interstate 5 beginning Friday amid concerns over what it says is a White House-directed plan to use live ordnance during a military anniversary celebration off Camp Pendleton’s coast in San Diego County — where Navy ships are expected to fire over the freeway onto the base.

Newsom's office has received, but not confirmed, reports that live ordnance will be fired from offshore vessels during the event commemorating the Marine Corps' 250th anniversary. The event is titled "Sea to Shore — A Review of Amphibious Strength" and will feature Vice President JD Vance.

Newsom's office said it has received little information about the event or safety plans. The military show of force coincides with No Kings rallies and marches across the state on Saturday that are expected to draw large crowds, demonstrations challenging Trump and what critics say is government overreach.
