SFist Blotter

Goodness, we go away for three days and look how much stuff happens. They found the body of a missing woman in Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park; there were seven shootings in SF over the weekend (22nd and Folsom; Glen Park; and China Basin), a member of the Raiders Black Hole got caught and killed in gang crossfire, and there was an armed carjacking at Geary and 27th Ave.

Not to mention all the Halloween-related crime: three shootings in the Western Addition and a stabbing at Castro and 18th, someone firing a BB gun at 18th and Guerrero, and a shooting at Albion and 17th (yo, that's right by the police station!). Someone lit a homeless man on fire downtown this morning. And in Oakland, someone may have kidnapped a young boy wearing a Scream mask too. What is with people these days??

Sigh. Well, we do try to keep it cheerful around here -- so here's the one piece of upbeat news we could find: a man who drove his SUV off the road near his house in a remote section of Marin was finally rescued, after his dog found him and barked for help until someone called 911. Good girl, Lassie!
