Why is it that I seem to be in the center of chaos? I was just sitting here watching Three Wishes, then all of a sudden a hear police sirens in between the cheers and the roar of the crowd at the Helix High football game. I pay no attention, since sirens are common occurances in the big city…then I hear a few more…and a few more…pretty soon, they are coming from all around. I see three cars with lights fly down University. Then a few more. Easily, there had to have been a over dozen cars converging on the high school and surrounding area.
All of this is going on, mind you, during the fireworks show.
From what I can deduce at this point, it seems there was some sort of incident at the game and the cops are now setting up a perimeter around the area. They need to get everyone out without disturbing the crime scene; I can only imagine that someone might have gotten shot or worse.
I’ll find out the scoop and let you know. After all, a good reporter does that.
**Update**
10:18pm – Well, I just checked with my dad, who I asked to monitor the police frequency, and it appears that it was a gang-related shooting. Sheriff’s deputies, San Diego Police, La Mesa Police, and K-9 units from these agencies have been dispatched to the high school and to this apartment complex on Normal. SWAT is being dispatched, as we speak, to the apartments; seems a woman from the complex approached police and informed them that she had left her apartment unlocked and when she went back to her apartment the deadbolt was locked. So they now believe they have the two suspects in this apartment.
Officers at the high school reported that there were three victims involved. Two are en-route to the hospital; the third, unfortunately, did not make it.
More info to come…
Sounds like it’s been popular to used guns against people in SD recently.
That’s true.
I’ve also learned that the shooting wasn’t the only drama that happened that night. I guess there was a fight at the game involving both teams, the coaches, and a ref. A couple players started up, then both teams, then the coaches went in to break it up. A ref decided it would be a good idea to chuck a football at a player when his back was turned, so then the coach socked the ref.
I think it might have been a full moon.
That’s crazy.
