Bay Area man is now a suspect in two mass shootings, including recent San Francisco attack that injured 9

 

A Bay Area man is wanted for involvement in two mass shootings, one on Friday in San Francisco where nine people were injured and the other in January in Oakland where a teen was gunned down and others were struck by bullets during a music video shoot, multiple law enforcement officials said Monday.

 

Campos, whose whereabouts are unknown, has a warrant for his arrest on assault charges in connection with the Oakland gun battle and is wanted for questioning in the San Francisco shooting, authorities said. Additionally, he has outstanding warrants in San Mateo County.

 

San Francisco’s shooting was one of two mass shootings around the Bay Area this past weekend. On Sunday morning, an 18-year-old woman was killed and six others were injured during a shooting at an Antioch house party.

 

The Friday shooting in the Mission District erupted around 9 p.m. during a block party near 24th Street and Treat Avenue. Despite the high number of people wounded, police described it as a “targeted,” not random, shooting but have not publicly revealed a specific motive. The Mission District is home to a well-established subset of the Norteño gang, the longtime rivals of the Sureños.

 

The police probable cause statement says Oakland police searched Campos’ Mercedes Benz and found an unregistered ghost gun underneath the front passenger seat, as well as seven baggies of various drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and ecstasy in the backseat.


Campos’ Mercedes was seen fleeing the area after Friday’s San Francisco shooting, according to authorities.

Five dead in Philadelphia shooting that’s nation’s worst violence around July 4

 

A 40-year-old killed one man in a house before fatally shooting four others on the streets of a Philadelphia neighborhood, then surrendering to police officers after being cornered in an alley with an assault rifle, a pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and a bulletproof vest, police said.

 

A 2-year-old boy and a 13-year-old were also wounded in the Monday night violence that made the working-class area of Kingsessing the site of the nation’s worst violence around the July Fourth holiday.

 

Police called to the scene found gunshot victims and started to help them before hearing more shots. Some officers rushed victims to hospitals while others ran toward the gunfire and chased the firing suspect. Officers ultimately arrested the assailant in an alley, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said at a news conference. The shooter had no connection to the victims before the shooting, she said.

Fourth of July overshadowed by 16 mass shootings across US

 

From the nation’s capital to Fort Worth, Texas, from Florin, California, in the west to the Bronx, New York, in the east, the Fourth of July long weekend in the US was overshadowed by 16 mass shootings in which 15 people were killed and nearly 100 injured.

 

The Gun Violence Archive, an authoritative database on gun violence in America, calculated the grim tally using its definition of a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people excluding the shooter are killed or injured by firearms.

 

The tragic bloodletting was recorded from 5pm on Friday until 5am on Wednesday across 13 states as well as Washington DC. Texas and Maryland both entered the register twice.

The US sets a grim milestone with a new record for the deadliest six months of mass killings

 

Slain at the hands of strangers or gunned down by loved ones. Massacred in small towns, in big cities, inside their own homes or outside in broad daylight. This year’s unrelenting bloodshed across the U.S. has led to the grimmest of milestones: The deadliest six months of mass killings recorded since at least 2006.

 

From Jan. 1 to June 30, the nation endured 28 mass killings, all but one of which involved guns. The death toll rose just about every week, a constant cycle of violence and grief.

 

Six months. 181 days. 28 mass killings. 140 victims. One country.

Prosecution: We have more dirt on the Crumbleys. It's time to try this case.

 

In yet another push to send them to trial, the prosecution says it has more damning evidence on James and Jennifer Crumbley — the first parents in America to be charged in a mass school shooting.

 

With the historic case now in the hands of the Michigan Supreme Court, the prosecution has disclosed yet another round of blistering allegations against the parents, whose son killed four Oxford High School students and injured seven others in 2021, using a gun his parents bought him as a present.

 

In its latest court filing, the prosecution says it has “additional evidence” showing the Crumbleys were grossly negligent in the hours, days and months before the massacre, including:

 

Jennifer Crumbley disclosed in a recorded interview after the shooting that she paid little attention to the drawings that her son had made on a math worksheet on the morning before the shooting. The drawing included a gun, a bleeding body, and the words “The thoughts won’t stop, help me.” The Crumbleys were summoned to the school over the drawings, though Jennifer Crumbley — that same day — allegedly told an interviewer that she “didn’t even look at them closely.”

Oxford High killer wanted to shoot ‘pretty’ girls in back of their heads, his journal said

 

 Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley’s private journal laid out his murderous plan, including to shoot pretty girls in the back of their heads.

 

“The first victim has to be a pretty girl with a future so she can suffer just like me,” he wrote in a 22-page journal discovered on the floor of the boys’ bathroom following the shooting. The first of his first four classmates he killed on Nov. 30, 2021 was 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, described by a teacher at her funeral as a “beautiful flower.”

Mass shooting near community event leaves 5 injured in Seattle

 

A mass shooting near a community event in Seattle Friday night left five people injured, two of whom were in critical condition, police said.

 

“We know that there’s dozens and dozens of rounds that were fired,” Seattle Police Department Chief Adrian Diaz told a news conference, adding that investigators were still working to establish whether “anybody was targeted.”

 

“We have five victims. Two are in critical condition. Three appear to be stable,” he said. He said they were taken to a nearby medical center and that one victim was treated and discharged.

 

All of them were in their 20s, he said. A separate post on the department's website said four of the victims were male and one was female.

 

Diaz said the shooter “focused their efforts on an area where there was actually a community event going on,” in the south of city.

 

He said that police had recovered the highest number of guns in in the city in 15 years. 

 

“The gun violence issues that we have in our city, we’ve seen it rise and sometimes slow down at times, but right now we’ve really got to get guns off our streets,” he said.

 

There have been 410 mass shootings in the U.S. in 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit organization that tracks incidents and defines a mass shooting as a single incident in which at least four people — other than the shooter — are shot.

U.S. averaging 2 mass shootings per day so far this year

 

The U.S. is currently on pace to meet or surpass the previous record for the most mass shootings in a year, which was set in 2021 with a total of 690, according to Gun Violence Archive (GVA) data.

 

Why it matters: So far this year, the U.S. has seen an average of two mass shootings every day, for a running total of 419.

 

At this point in 2021, 401 mass shootings had occurred, and that year over all had a daily average of 1.9 mass shootings.


Details: GVA defines a mass shooting as an incident in which at least four people are shot and either killed or injured, not including the shooter.

 

Already, over 25,000 people have died from gun violence this year, and there are still 153 days left in 2023.


That's an average of 118 deaths per day, and among those daily deaths were nearly one child between the ages of zero and 11 and over four teens between 12 to 17 years old.


More than 22,000 people have also been injured by gunshots this year, including over 400 children and 2,400 teens.

The weekend violence upped the number of mass shootings in 2023 to 419, with still five months left in the year.

I am against the death penalty. I think the government should not be in the business of killing people. I think far too many people get the death penalty who don’t deserve it or are actually innocent. I think prison is torture enough. 
 

This is one of those cases that make me really rethink my position. I hope they botch his execution and have to do it twice

There was a bogus active shooter call at Senate office building yesterday...was planning to go to lunch there but manager suggested something else at last minute...

 

That's about as close to home as I've had in a while, bullet dodged or not.  I'm sure the politics of some of our elected officials won't be different this morning, but doubt I can say the same for their pages and interns.

Technically, this is a mass shooting:

Cousin of Uvalde mass shooter arrested for allegedly threatening to commit school shooting: Affidavits

 

A cousin of the Uvalde school shooter was arrested Monday on allegations he threatened to commit a school shooting, according to two arrest affidavits filed in a Bexar County, Texas, court and signed by a judge.

 

Officers from the San Antonio Police Department responded to a mental health call from the mother of a teen Monday. The mother reportedly told police that her son had threatened to “do the same thing” as his cousin, who committed a mass shooting at an elementary school in 2022 -- statements police say were made to the suspect’s sister. The mother was concerned because her son is on probation, and she claimed he was intoxicated when the alleged statements were made, according to the affidavits.

 

The 17-year-old suspect's sister, who gave a recorded statement at police headquarters, told police she was giving her brother a ride when he allegedly threatened to shoot her in the head and “stated that he would ‘shoot the school.’” She said he added that "school is starting soon," per the arrest affidavit.
