A 78-year-old South Berkeley woman is being held on charges that she shot a 36-year-old in the stomach. The victim wasn't sure why she'd been targeted, but said the two of them might have been having some man problems. The injury isn't life-threatening -- but okay, we're intrigued! What kind of man problems?
....and the Oakland Trib moves into some blotter territory of its own, as it lists the hilariousest crime items for this holiday season: the police officer attacked by a pack of chihuahuas (ankle injury reported) and the woman who found a stranger at her home computer, changing her screensaver to "erotic Indian art." A million stories in the naked city, friends.
And a music student in San Francisco is freaking out after someone stole a $175,000 violin from the locked trunk of her car. The student parked her car at that Safeway on Webster by Japantown without actually going into the store, and the car was towed. When she got to Golden Gate Tow, even though the car had been locked, her iPod and wallet were missing -- as was the violin, which a dealer had lent her to try out. Fingers are pointing all around -- but we're like, who knew they actually went and towed illegally-parked cars at Safeway? Unnerving! (update: violin was found in the Peninsula.)
