In yet another babysitting-related crime in the Bay Area, a woman in Richmond is in jail after she left a 2-year-old she was watching (along with an 8-month old) with her 11-year-old daughter while she went out to run some errands. The 11-year-old dropped the 2-year-old, who suffered a skull fracture and died. Other babysitter-related crimes of late include: the woman who let a baby she was watching get hit by a train, the nanny who shook the crying baby, and those home alone kids in Danville.
A quinceanera in Oakland was ruined when three guys crashed the party and shot a 17-year-old guest. The birthday girl didn't know either the victim or the shooters -- reports vary on whether the victim had come to the party with friends and relatives, or if he just crashed the party in an attempt to evade the people out to get him. Oakland's 2006 murder count is now 39.
And see what happens when you get targeted by Bill O'Reilly? There was an apparently-unprovoked shooting at Coit Tower over the weekend, and one victim has died. Police report that the deceased victim rolled down his window to talk to people who were banging their fists on his car, and was shot. His friend was also shot, and is in critical condition. Police are looking for a sky-blue late 80s/early 90s Honda Accord.
