DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Residents of a Northern California university town are frightened and on edge after three people were stabbed within a week — two fatally — with the most recent attempt Monday night when a homeless woman reported being knifed several times through her tent. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is assisting the Davis Police Department, as are other law enforcement agencies.

Police issued a shelter-in-place order for residents shortly after the stabbing of the woman was reported at 11:45 p.m. Monday.

A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Wednesday:ENGLANDFirst-place Manchester City hosts West Ham, and striker Erling Haaland needs one goal to set a new record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season. He has 34 and shares the record with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. City has six games remaining so it seems certain Haaland — who has 50 goals in all competitions — will set a new benchmark. “The magnitude of a record is because for a long time it was not broken,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. “All records will be broken one day.” Liverpool hosts Fulham with the fifth-placed Merseyside club looking to strengthen its bid for Europa League qualification and keep alive its slim Champions League hopes.ITALYNapoli could be crowned Serie A champion without even kicking a ball — if second-place Lazio fails to beat Sassuolo. If Lazio wins, Napoli’s 33-year wait for the league title will extend at least another day when it plays at Udinese. Lazio has lost i...
