Two stories for you today as we head into the weekend.

- The CHP arrested three people in Berkeley on Friday in connection with a carjacking case from San Francisco, according to early reports. If you wondered about a hovering helicopter — here's what we know.
- And the latest Scanner exclusive: On Friday, a judge ordered a man who was shot by police during a standoff in Berkeley to be assessed by a psychiatrist before his case can proceed. TBS was the only news outlet in the room.
