A couple weeks ago we mentioned this disturbing-though-not-deadly situation on I-680 where drivers were getting shot at, apparently by an air rifle and maybe by a teenager, and getting their car windows shattered. Well, two 21-year-olds have been arrested and they're facing 40 some odd counts of assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism, among other things.

Rancho Cotati High School and Cross & Crown Lutheran School for kindergarteners and preschoolers in Rohnert Park were shutdown today after a gun scare sent parents, school officials, and teachers into a frenzy. (Students, of course, think it's awesome, because anything that gets you out of school is rad.) According to reports, "A Sonoma County emergency dispatcher received a call at 9:19 a.m. reporting an armed student inside the school at 5450 Snyder Lane." So far no gun or disgruntled student has been found. A school employee at an apartment complex across the street said "some parents had gathered at the edge of the campus and were awaiting an update on the situation." more ›
