https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/good-samaritans-tackle-suspected-shooter-in-gaslamp-quarter/2586328/One dead, four wounded; still trying to figure out why a young white guy decided to get himself a ghost gun and start shooting random men on the street on a Thursday night.
Two unarmed good guys stopped his rampage, tackling the shooter from behind and holding him for the police.

They had to wait because the police were making traffic stops for expired tags and stuff...

anymore.

As the city works to fix some issues they find others. Mental health and homelessness are biggies now.
A focus on community policing and low income job training and programs have helped fix a lot of the old gang issues, but unaffordable housing is really biting the city in the ass.

and there was too much crime there too. Who woulda thunk?
