Bad day on the transportation front yesterday: so someone got stabbed on a MUNI bus yesterday afternoon around 1 p.m. at 16th Street and Mission, and on the morning commute, southbound 880 near Hayward was completely snarled after people discovered body parts all over the highway. Turns out a person walking on the highway was hit by several cars early in the morning. And on Wednesday night, an AC Transit bus was in a seven-car......

101, the highway of doom! There was a drunk driving death near Willow Road Wednesday morning, along with all those random shootings the day before. The cops, for what it's worth, say none of those random shootings are connected -- but still: we'll take 280 this week, thanks. A student at Merritt College in Oakland was attacked and acid was thrown in her face in a college parking lot a few weeks ago. The police......

At Pine and Divisadero on Wednesday afternoon, a man severely slashed a woman with a box cutter (some reports we saw said she might die, while others said the wounds were not life-threatening); the cops subsequently caught him. A police officer in Oakland shot a man to death yesterday afternoon at 54th and MLK, where a number of shootings have occurred recently. The officer confronted the man for reasons that they declined to specify to......

Well, we suppose this is sort of like those Portraits In Grief type thumbnail portraits of murder victims we suggested to the Chron -- yesterday's paper featured a long article about Allan Broussard, a serial car burglar who was shot to death last month. He was shot clutching a car stereo he'd just stolen. A suspect has been arrested in the case, who has a long rap sheet of his own, but the cops won't......

Uh oh! Did you stop by the Jamba Juice on Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen in San Jose any time during the first two weeks of August? An employee may have given you hepatitis A. Turns out one of the food handlers didn't realize she was sick and she might have given it to you if she didn't wash her hands properly. If you were at the JJ from August 9-16, get a shot. If......

Yet another pedestrian hit by yet another MUNI bus in the Richmond -- this time, the 1 California at 22nd Ave. Plus, Caltrain hit a car this morning too. More murder counts for the SF Crime Blog -- a man was shot to death in the Bayview, at Innes and Mendell. This is murder number 69 for the year, and you'll be unsurprised to hear that the cops have no leads. Hey, SF Crime Blog,......

Your Black Muslim Bakery update: the business is being liquidated in an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding (they have almost $1 million in debt) after a number of unnamed potential buyers dropped out, and the 19-year-old arrested for shooting journalist Chauncey Bailey now says (video clip) he was beaten and coerced into a false confession to the murder. The Oakland PD homicide officer assigned to the case says that's false and they have a taped confession where......

Sorry we missed this story the first time around -- the cops are still looking for the assailants in a stabbing on 19th and Castro back in June. Two gay men were walking down 19th Street when three young Hispanic men got out of a car following them. One of the young men asked them for a cigarette, and then stabbed both men repeatedly. The men managed to make it to 18th Street before one......

From the SFist Tips line: yet another daytime shooting yesterday, this time at 23rd and South Van Ness around 1:45 p.m, by the post office, and fatal. In a particularly brazen act, the shooters then drove by the SFPD Ingleside Station to drop off the body about an hour and a half later. You'll all be pleased to hear that the cops did at least manage to catch the person driving the car. Those activists......

The SFPD arrested the guy who murdered the anti-crime activist in the Haight, Joe Konopka, in an S&M session gone wrong. They believe Konopka, who was found handcuffed, choked to death on plastic covering his face. After Konopka died, the murderer took his laptop, jewelry, and cell phone before fleeing the scene. Does anyone know what happened at 16th and South Van Ness Wednesday night? We walked by there around 9 p.m. and there were......

A four-year-old boy drowned to death in the 2-foot deep section of the wave pool at Great America in Santa Clara yesterday. There were six lifeguards on duty at the time, but there are no age limits on who can use the pool. Authorities have not identified the boy, or said whether or not he was supervised at the time of the accident. This is the first drowning at Great America but not the first......

Remember that couple we told you about that was stealing stuff from open houses? They got busted by the OnStar in their rental Hummer. Police won't reveal where they were, except to say they were "out of state." DA Kamala Harris went to the Board of Supes to ask for more money to fight misdemeanor crimes (usually your smaller quality-of-life ones). The SF DA's office only has nine attorneys handling misdemeanors, and they've got an......

This story about the Berkeley family killed in Tilden Park by the husband over business problems is so sad. Friends of the family describe the husband, Kevin Morrissey, as "brittle," "desperate," and as having a "very controlling side," though by all accounts deeply in love with his wife. The wife, Mamiko Kawai, is described as a wonderful doctor and the two girls as adorable. The CIA will neither confirm nor deny the husband's claims that......

Remember Edith Delgado, the girl who accidentally killed two members of the royal family of Tongo Tonga about a year ago on 101 in a speeding accident? She was found guilty of misdemeanor manslaughter (but not the more serious felony version), which has a maximum penalty of 3 years. The prosecutors alleged that Delgado had a history of reckless driving and was drag-racing at the time of the accident, but her lawyers disputed that. In......

Hey kid. An SFist editor would like to have some words with you. A 16-year-old from Belmont was arrested for planting those bombs around SF General yesterday. He was caught with another explosive device in his house, and they think he might have planted some bombs near SF General last month too. And yeah, you may have heard -- it turns out they were actual bombs. A student at Berkeley High and her date were......

A gay African-American high school English teacher at the private Urban School is recovering from three stab wounds he received a few weeks ago while eating at the Taqueria Cancun down near Mission and 29th Street. A woman came into the taqueria and started yelling racial and anti-gay slurs at people in the restaurant, and when the teacher and his friends tried to get away from her, she attacked him with the knife. The SFPD......

Have you guys seen all those "Click It Or Ticket" signs they've had up on the LED signs on the highway about how they're enforcing the seat belt laws this month? Well, Oakland City Attorney John Russo didn't, and got nabbed on Piedmont Avenue for going beltless. We pretty much always wear a seat belt now because that dinging noise that the dashboard makes if you don't have it on drives us mad. Russo says......

There was a huge and spectacular fire at an abandoned warehouse on Treasure Island early Thursday morning. The SFFD let it burn because there was no risk that the fire would spread and it was too dangerous to send people in. They had to use the fire boat (which uses water from the bay) to put out the flames because there wasn't enough water pressure on Treasure Island itself for the hydrants to work. A......

A fight on the Cal campus last Saturday left a senior with a fractured skull and brain damage and a member of the rugby team looking for an attorney. The resident went outside when he heard someone breaking a window of his co-op (at Prospect and Channing), and got in a confrontation with a guy wearing a Cal rugby shirt. The rugby team had won the national championship that night. The victim claims the rugby......

Students at Cal protest the store Bear Basics for selling shirts they found offensive. The shirts in question said "Rutgers Nappy-Headed Ho Basketball Team." A manager was asked to stop selling the shirt and refused, so the students organized a protest for the next day. The manager's boss intervened and pulled the shirt before the store opened the next day, but when the students came by a few days later, they found two other shirts......

Running a little late today! Here's today's story of awesomeness! You know Project Prom, the protest where teenage girls dress in prom dresses and combat boots to support safe cosmetics in Union Square? (We' might be getting some pictures of it, and if you have any, tag 'em SFist on Flickr!) Well, one girl was at Tuesday's protest in a silver prom dress, tiara, and boots when a group of three guys raced by and......

What is it with all the hapless criminals and would-be criminals in Fremont? We should do an all-Fremont edition of the Blotter one of these weeks. Well, today's Fremont Blotter entry involves an attempted robbery of a Quiznos by a man wearing a straw sombrero, sunglasses, and gloves. The man walked in, "simulated a handgun" under his sweatshirt, and asked for cash. The employees told the man they didn't know how to open the register......

Well, that's kind of a cinematically creepy incident -- the SFPD are investigating an accident where it turned out a 43-year-old man who crashed his car into a house on 29th and Santiago in the Sunset had been shot. The collision started a small house fire which was quickly extinguished. Investigators have said that several shots were heard in the area at the time, and several other cars were hit with bullets as well. Were......

Gunshots on Market Street! Around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, the SFPD had to close down Market between 8th and 9th after a guy in a white car and another guy in a darker car traded shots. The guy in the white car jumped out and started yelling at the people in the darker car; the darker car tried to make a U but was (of course) blocked by the F-Market trolley, and the guy from......

See what happens when you brag too much? A woman in Scotts Valley was jumping up and down in the parking lot of a Safeway, with a scratch-and-win lottery ticket worth $5000, shouting, "I won!" when a man on a bicycle whizzed by and stole the ticket out of her hand. We're sure local anti-bike activist (scroll halfway down) Rob Anderson will be able to turn this anecdote to his advantage as well. Let's be......

Han Shin showed up in court in Contra Costa County yesterday to plead not guilty to the charges that he tried to run over an ex's roommate with his car in San Ramon. He smiled and wished the judge a good day. Meanwhile, the authorities also arrested an Oakland man who's been stalking Schwarzenegger. Good ol' Dan Noyes! His I-Team's sued MUNI to get access to bus safety records, and they just won an order......

A 21-year-old trainjumping transient from Portland fell out of a Union Pacific train that she and her rottweiler were hitching a ride on. The train was in Benicia and moving at about 50 mph at the time she and the dog fell out -- but she died not from any injury from the fall but rather, from drowning in the shallow puddle in which she landed. The dog was injured too, but they have no......

The autopsy of the Stanford student who was found dead in the trunk of her car last month was found to have toxically-high levels of a substance normally found in Benadryl. Her father remains unconvinced it was a suicide, saying maybe someone forced her to take the drug before killing her. Hey, remember the naked South Bay jogger? He's a 43 year old married engineer who says there's nothing wrong with the human body. He's......

That power outage at SFO yesterday was from a switch failure, not PG&E. PG&E, though, still has to take the blame for that explosion in Chinatown yesterday too. An 8-month-old girl is safe after being dropped from the second-story window of a burning apartment in Sunnyvale. A neighbor had pulled underneath the window in a pickup truck and caught the baby, and then caught the mother safely in the cab of the truck as she......

Hey, do you guys remember the story about estranged Daly City politico couple the Berlangas, where the ex-wife and the ex-husband were running against each other for a seat on the City Council and the ex-wife accused the ex-husband of doing it to intimidate her and got a restraining order against him for stalking her? Well, he was sentenced to 15 days in the county jail and 32 hours of anger management classes for violating......
