Okay, we don't usually do crime wrapups on Monday, but we're starting to actually get more and more freaked out about the state of public safety in the city these days.
If you were anywhere near 17th and Capp Street around 6 p.m. last Friday, you couldn't miss the seven extremely loud shots being fired, and the subsequent mess of sirens and ambulance screeching onto the scene. One of our readers on the scene sent in the picture of the aftermath, above. Turns out the shooter was a "heavyset" male disgruntled with the victim after an argument. The victim is in stable condition.
Later that evening, there was a second shooting just down the street, at 19th and Capp, around 11:40 p.m. No word on their status, and we also note that two people were killed on that same stretch of Capp Street just on July 4 -- could the SFPD maybe send more patrols that way?
And we see in the tips line that someone's looking for information about a possible shooting around 24th and York from Sunday too. We can't find anything about that (and we're a little troubled that there are now so many shootings around town that a lot of them never even make our usual news sources anymore) -- but we've had some luck checking out the "Bay City News briefs" on CBS 5. (Note that the entries turn over pretty quickly, though.)
Picture of the scene at 17th and Mission sent in by stalwart reader Ben Hopfer. Though we love seeing reader pictures, we're glad you weren't hurt, Ben!
