SALEM, Ore. (AP) – Hunters heading out tomorrow on the opening day of deer season in Oregon will find locked gates at the entrances to most private timberlands because of the wildfire danger.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – A Eugene high school student who sped away from a traffic stop and crashed, killing two people, has been sentenced to more than six years in prison. Emanuel Herrera-Gutierrez pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter for the March crash that killed Richard Lee Taylor and Toni Lynn Bryson. The Register-Guard reports the teen is not a legal resident of the United States, despite living in the country since he was 2. He’ll likely be deported after his sentence.
