SFist Blotter

  • Hey, did you know that most gunfire in SF (and everywhere else, we assume) goes unreported? It does. At least according to the Examiner, it doesn't. They report that ShotSpotter--that magic recording device that can pinpoint the locations of discharged gunfire in San Francisco's most at-risk neighborhoods--hears gunfire that city residents should be reporting.

  • Two men were shot and killed in SF on Saturday night. First, just outside the Japan center in Japantown at around 10:15 p.m., 32-year-old Oakland resident "Ajason Black" was shot and killed on Geary Boulevard.

    Then, a few minutes later over in Potrero Hill, Victor Carson, 41, collided with gunfire over on the 1000 block of Connecticut Street. Carson, it seems, died from a gunshot wound right to the neck.

    It goes without saying: no arrests have been made in either case yet.

  • UC Berkeley student and Sigma Pi fraternity member Chris Wootton was stabbed to death this weekend outside a sorority house near Cal. Wootton was stabbed once once in the chest, allegedly while trying to cool down a confrontation, and later died.

    According to this girlfriend, Brandy DeOrnellas, Wootton loved "penne pasta, turkey bacon ranch subs from Quiznos, and Sweet Tomatoes." (Word on the bacon ranch subs.)

    Berkeley resident Andrew Thomas Hoeft-Edenfield, 20, was arrested on suspicion of murder. The media, we should point out, is over-reporting this story. Especially since the alleged suspect is in custody.

Those turkey bacon ranch subs aren't going to eat themselves.
