Amazon is soft-launching a new supermarket Thursday, with a shopping cart that tallies up items as it enters the basket and enables instant checkout, and Alexa stations throughout the store you can ask questions. Amazon's first Fresh store is a 35,000 square foot traditional supermarket, opening in a strip mall in Woodland Hills, California, next to a See's Candy. Woodland Hills is a Los Angeles suburb in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. Customers can enter the store the traditional way, but if they want to use the cart, they need to open up their Amazon app and swipe it. Jeff Helbling, Amazon's vice-president of the Fresh Stores, says the shopping cart uses "a combination of computer vision algorithms and sensor fusion," within the cart to identify and tally up the items.

A father was shot and killed late Tuesday after he opened the front door of his Woodland Hills home expecting a pizza delivery, officials said. The 37-year-old man was at home in the 4900 block of Medina Drive with his wife and young daughter at 11:50 p.m. when he answered the front door. A Los Angeles police detective told KTLA-TV they think the man opened the door because he had ordered a pizza. Instead, he was met by unidentified assailants. That's when police said he was shot and killed outside his home.
