Day Around The Bay
--What is going on in this town? There was a mob-style shooting near the 5th and Harrison 80 off-ramp this afternoon. Someone shot 17 bullets into a rented blue Dodge Charger around 1 p.m. today, as both cars were getting off the highway and stopped at a light. The shooters sped off up Fifth Street in a green minivan, which hit another car in the getaway. The victim suffered life-threatening injuries but is as of now still alive.
Okay, back to your usual terse news roundup style.

I guess Louise Renees elderly temper tantrum and resignation off the Police Commission doesn't rate a mention. I hope she didn't break a hip jumping up and down over her (and gavins) candidate not getting the position of President of the Commission. She has that same elitist sense of entitlement that her boy gavin relishes. Like they say louise don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
