Webber attacked him and took off in the victim sustained injuries to his head, leg, food and torso, the victim has been released from the icu. Mark has not been in touch. The next door the only response at the victims house was the dog. The victim often walks the dog off leash and never picked up after his pet. This neighbor said the suspect complained about his dogs barking and argued with the victim over the parking issues. Its something that got out of hand. Anytime where it reaches this level of violence, if its road rage or a dog or maybe your neighbor has parties every weekend. We encourage people to let us mitigate and figure out a solution. Because of the severity of the victims injuries mark could face attempted murder. In morgan hill, police are looking for a bike thief. These are pictures of him taken outside the store.

My wife looked through the peep hole and thought it was a coyote. It was a Mountain Lion peering about before dragging off the prey. A deer was killed. He carried him over the rail and brought him on the front porch. Why the front porch. Maybe he felt it was safer to work on the carcass of the deer. California department of fish and wildlife game warden said the conclusion to this encounter is rarely caught on camera but not a surprise. Its not unusual to kill where the deer are feeding. Its their natural behavior. They are attracted to deer. Hillsborough and the surrounding area sit in the habitat of Mountain Lion. Dont plant vegetation that attracts deer. The sight of a Mountain Lion stalking and killing prey isnt scary but makes him think of precautions. Especially when nature comes calling. When nature comes calling too close for comfort.
