BERKELEY-OAKLAND/SATURDAY: Three people died after a murder and car chase through the East Bay Saturday night. "It all started at 6:35 p.m. when Berkeley Police responded to reports of gunfire near Allston Way and 10th Street in West Berkeley," according to reports, where offices found an unidentified male suffering from 10 gunshot wounds. He later died. Police then chased the kmurder suspects up to North Oakland, where the they crashed their Cadillac "into two other vehicles at the corner of Aileen Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way -- killing two innocent bystanders, one in a car, and one who was walking down the sidewalk." A 26-year-old Sunnyvale man, whose Mazda got caught up in the crash, died as well.
MISSION/SATURDAY: Showing no signs of slowing down, crime in the Mission will leave 2008 with a bang. Or, rather, a bloody stab. Take, of example, the incident that went down at 2 a.m. on Saturday morning in the Mission. An unidentified man was stabbed at 24th and Harrison. He was whisked away to SF General Hospital and is expected to survive. No arrests have been made.

According to the Gate, SF resident Leonard Waters was shot and killed in the 1600 block of Kirkwood Avenue late Friday night. No arrests shave been made.
SUNDAY, POTRERO HILL: Someone was the unlucky recipient of life-threatening gunshot wounds over in the Potrero Hill district. It's happened over on the 100 block of Connecticut Street. No arrests have been made. (CBS 5, via SF Crime)
The suspect, Pierre Ragland, was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, assault, carrying a loaded firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon. Oops. And the victim was rushed to San Francisco General Hospital, and it looks like he's pull through. (And to add insult to injury: "Oh my God, who shot you?" "This guy named Pierre." Ouch.)
Here we see the start of a memorial at Capp and 24th Streets, right on the spot where a 19-year-old male lost his life in a double shooting last night. Are those bullet holes? Yikes.
Even with all the nasty weather, this weekend proved to be yet another violent one in San Francisco. For sure. After five shootings took place within a 24-hour time period, two people lost their lives. Let's go to the rewind, folks:
San Francisco started the year with a bang. Literally.
Two separate shootings in the city of Richmond took the lives of three men on Thursday night.
