3. California is grappling with two tragedies: the aftermath of a mass shooting and wildfires.

Late Wednesday, a gunman killed 12 people at a country music club in Thousand Oaks, outside Los Angeles. The victims included a college freshman, a sheriff’s deputy and a man who had survived the Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 people.

And the state’s grief was compounded by new threats: infernos in the north and south.

At least 23 are dead in the so-called Camp Fire, about 100 miles north of Sacramento, above, which has consumed 6,700 structures, left charred forests in its wake and became the most destructive fire in modern state history. Two others have died in fires near Los Angeles.

In Southern California, fires forced evacuations of Thousand Oaks and Malibu. A combination of climate change, Santa Ana winds and humans have made California even more prone to fires than normal, our climate reporter writes.
