A disgruntled former employee stormed the Conard Community Services Center at 9th and Mission yesterday morning and shot a caseworker dead. It could have been much worse, but for the quick thinking of another employee, a man coming by to pick up a public assistance check, and a third homeless man in the area, who wrestled the shooter to the ground and disarmed him. The shooter was carrying a handgun, a shotgun, and an axe. Y'know, coming back and shooting up your former office probably just confirms that they were right to let you go in the first place.

The finger lady's back! Anna Ayala was arraigned (check out that smirk!) in Santa Clara Superior Court yesterday, with a cheering crowd of 12 present.

Meanwhile, the cops are now searching a ranch in Mexico.

And the student leader of the gay-straight alliance at Tamalpais High in Mill Valley has confessed to faking incidents of anti-gay vandalism at the school, saying that she just wanted some attention. The school had been investigating graffiti on school walls, doors of openly gay teachers' classrooms, and the gay-straight alliance student leader's car. The school has stripped the student, a wrestler, of her award for Best Student Athlete as a result.
