>> HE IS A 72-YEAR-OLD MALE ASIAN.

I CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING SUSPECTS.

>> Reporter: THE SHERIFF SAYS THE SUSPECT SHOT HIMSELF IN HIS VAN DURING THE STANDOFF, HOURS AFTER HE KILLED 10 PEOPLE AND WOUNDED 10 OTHERS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

THE ATTACK DEVASTATING THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY ON THE EVE OF ITS LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION.

>> IT IS JUST A VERY JOYOUS TIME OF YEAR FOR FAMILIES TO GET TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE A TRAGEDY, SUCH AS THIS ON THE EVE OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR IS JUST INCREDIBLY SAD.

HE IS CALLING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RESTRICT ASSAULT WEAPONS AND LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES.

>> IMAGES WEAPONS APPEAR MASS DESTRUCTION.

THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN THIS COUNTRY.

IT IS DISGRACEFUL.

IT IS OFFENSIVE TO COMMON SENSE, TO DIGNITY.

>> THE MASSACRE WAS THE NASAL THIS KILLING THIS MONTH.

IT WAS ALSO THE DEADLIEST ATTACK SINCE LAST MAY.

21 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN TEXAS.

THE TRAGEDY HITS HOME FOR A PAIR OF DANCE TO THE OWNERS HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

>> WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN WE MOVED IN MANY PLACES WHERE WE COULD COME AND TEACH.

WE ARE HAPPY TO FIND PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE ACCEPTED.

>> Reporter: THEY WERE ONE OF THE 11 VICTIMS KILLED IN THE SHOOTING.

THE DANCE COMMUNITY IS STILL SHAKING BY THE SENSE OF SHOOTING.

>> I THINK IT IS THE STRATEGY -- IT WAS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WENT TO CELEBRATE THEIR HOLIDAY.

IT IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COME AND SOCIALIZE.

THEY COME TO DO WHAT THEY LOVE BECOME TO DANCE.

IT SHOULD NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY HARM.

>> Reporter: HE WAS JUDGING THE CALIFORNIA CLASSIC DANCE COMPETITION IN ORANGE COUNTY ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

WHERE THE OWNER AND HER TEACHERS WERE THERE WITH THEIR STUDENTS.

WE SEE SCISSOR PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS IN A GROUP AND ONE OR MORE OF THEM OVERDOSE.

THESE ARE ALL CASES WHERE MARCON COULD'VE MADE A DIFFERENCE.

EVERYONE ELSE TO MAKE SURE MAKE IT WIDELY AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE.

HE WORKS WITH THE NEW PATH, A NONPROFIT FOCUSED ON DRUG TREATMENT.

IS ALSO KNOWN AS NARCAN.

HE'S BEEN HAVING UP THE MEDICATION TO HIGH RISK INDIVIDUALS FOR YEARS.

YOU DISPLAY THE PERSON FLAT ON THEIR BACK AND TILTED HER HEAD BACK.

>>> THE TIME IS NOW FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO GET THEIR TAXES DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, MONDAY MARKS THE START OF THE FILING SEASON.

THE IRS IS REMINDING PEOPLE THAT REFUNDS MIGHT NOT BE AS GENEROUS THIS YEAR AND THAT IS BECAUSE SOME INCENTIVES HAVE EXPIRED.

PARENTS AND LOW INCOME EARNERS MIGHT BE AFFECTED WITH CHANGE TO THE CHILD TAX CREDIT, EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT AND THE CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE CREDIT.

>> WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR WAS BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS HAD CHILDREN , THEY WERE ABLE TO GET MORE MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH GAVE THEM A LARGER REFUND.

THAT IS NOT TAKING PLACE THIS YEAR.

>> THE RISE IN LOCAL AND STATE MINIMUM WAGE LAWS MIGHT ALSO AFFECT REFUND AMOUNT FOR LOWER INCOME TAX FILERS.

THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT YOUR RETURN THIS YEAR IS APRIL 18th.

>>> SANYO CASTS AND ELECTRIC CUSTOMERS ARE HIGH UTILITY BILLS THIS MONTH.

NATURAL GAS RATES ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT THEY WERE A YEAR AGO AND ELECTRICITY COSTS ARE UP TOO.

ERIC ANDERSON SAYS THERE IS PLENTY OF FINANCIAL PAIN TO GO AROUND.

>> Reporter: MICHELLE BALES HAS LIVED EAST OF DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO IN THE SAME APARTMENT FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS.

>> IT IS COZY, IT IS WARM.

I REALLY LIKE IT.

IT IS CLOSE TO WORK AS WELL.

THAT IS A HUGE PLUS.

BALES BRACES FOR A BIG GAS AND ELECTRIC BILL.

SHE IS ALREADY CHANGING HER DAILY ROUTINES.

>> I TRY NOT TO USE THE GAS HEATER.

I OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO COOK.

I TRY NOT TO TURN ON ALL THE LIGHTS.

SOMETIMES I WILL SIT HERE WITH CANDLES AND THE TV, JUST DO NOT RACK UP THE FEES.

>> Reporter: BALES SPENT HALF OF THE MONTH HOUSE WINNING ELSEWHERE AND HER BILL STOPPED $100.

SHELLEY PAID ABOUT $60 IN NOVEMBER.

BALES IS ABLE TO MAKE ON-TIME PAYMENTS BUT MANY GAS AND ELECTRIC CUSTOMERS ARE NOT.

>> WE HAVE ABOUT 3.7 MILLION CUSTOMERS OF THAT, APPROXIMATELY 341,000 OR 25%, ARE AT SOME LEVEL BEHIND ON THEIR BILL.

>> Reporter: ANTHONY WAGNER SAYS THAT DELINQUENCIES ARE COUNTED AS PEOPLE WHO ARE AT LEAST EARLY DAYS BEHIND IN THEIR BILLS.

MOST ARE MORE THAN 60 DAYS LATE.

IT IS A SURPRISINGLY LARGE NUMBER.

>> FIVE YEARS NO THE NUMBERS WERE LIKE 10 OR 15% THAT ARE BEHIND.

25%, SUGGEST THAT THE COST OF HOME ENERGY BECOMING UNAFFORDABLE FOR MANY FAMILIES.

THE THINGS THAT ARE IN PLACE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO PAY THESE BILLS.

>> Reporter: ABOUT A THIRD OF SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC CUSTOMERS ARE ALREADY ENROLLED IN A RATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

THE TWO BIGGEST ARE THE CALIFORNIA ALTERNATIVE RATES FOR ENERGY AND THE FAMILY ELECTRIC RATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

BOTH OFFER RATE REDUCTIONS BASED ON FAMILY INCOME.

SAN GABRIEL GAS AND ELECTRIC STILL HAS ABOUT $200 MILLION IN DELINQUENT CUSTOMER DEBT.

>> THEY SET YOU UP WITH POWER AND THE ACCESS THE INTERNET AND ACCESS THE AIR CONDITIONING OR HEATING IT PLACES A VERY SIGNIFICANT BURDEN WHEN CRISIS WITH THE FOOD, YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE ONE ITEM FOR ANOTHER.

YOU CAN STRETCH YOUR FOOD BUDGET UPPER THERE'S THINGS YOU CAN DO.

>> Reporter: POWER SHOTS HAVE NOT HAPPENED IN SDG&E SERVICE AREA SINCE MARCH OF 2020.

THE COVID PROHIBITION ON DISCONNECTIONS EXPIRED IN 2021.

SDG&E HAS NOT CUT OFF POWER FOR OVERDUE BILLS SENSE 2020.

COMPANY SPOKESMAN ANTHONY WAGNER SAYS, THAT WILL LIKELY CHANGE THIS YEAR.

THE UTILITY NEEDS TO START COLLECTING THAT $200 MILLION FROM CUSTOMERS WITH PAST-DUE BILLS.

HE IS ALSO QUICK TO SAY THAT CUSTOMERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING HAVE OPTIONS.

>> AS LONG AS YOU'RE IN COMMUNICATION WITH US AND YOU HAVE A STRATEGY WITH THE UTILITY ON HOW TO PAY OFF, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET YOURSELF DISCONNECTED.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BE IN COMMUNICATION WITH US >> Reporter: WAGNER SAYS THE HIGH GAS BILL SHOULD BEGIN FILMING NEXT MONTH WHEN TEMPERATURES CLIMB, DEMAND FADES AND GAS RATES ARE RESET.

THAT IS WELCOME NEWS FOR THIS WOMAN IN AN OCEANSIDE APARTMENT.

HIGH BILLS HAVE HER MAKING TOUGH BUDGETARY CHOICES.

>> I AM ON A FIXED INCOME.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY MORE MONEY THAN THERE IS I NEED TO BUDGET IT EVERY MONTH.

THINGS THAT VARY FROM MONTH-TO- MONTH, SIGNIFICANTLY, IMPACT ME MORE THAN PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL IN THE INCREASED EARNING YEARS.

>> Reporter: EVEN CUSTOMERS ARE NOT CHARLIE MAY END UP FEELING THE PAIN.

SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC CANNOT COLLECT THE DEBT, UTILITY WILL ROLL THAT DEBT INTO ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS RATES.

THAT RAISES UTILITY PRICES AND KEEPS PRESSURE ON CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING.

ERIC ANDERSON, KPBS NEWS .

LET ALONE DO NOT HAVE TRASH COLLECTION SERVICE AND THAT EXPLAINS THE PROBLEM IN THE TIJUANA RIVER.

WHAT YOU DO NO ONE PICKS UP THE TRASH?

THEY PUT IN PLASTIC BAGS AND THEY LEAVE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE.

>> Reporter: THE TIJUANA RIVER IS A BUNDLE OF TRIBUTARIES WHICH CARRY THAT TRASH THAT COMES OFF THE STREETS AND INTO THE VALLEY WHEN IT RAINS.

WILD COAST ALREADY CATCHES TRASH IN MEXICO GO ON ONE OF THOSE TRIBUTARIES.
