Before i go onto the next part of my report. For the commissioner if you have a question put your name in the chat. I dont see any. I dont see names. Chief. Thank you Vice President taylor. As to other major events there were two shooting incidents that caused injuries to victims over the past week. One was 500 block of alamany in the ingall side district. Our victim was inside a residence. Heard gunshots and realized she had been shot. That one we are still looking for leads and again anybody that has any information please call the tip line at 415 5754444. The second one, 1115 at 4 17 a. M. We dont have the exact location where this shooting happened. Our victim was selftransported to the hospital. It was a gunshot wound by the time the officers arrived the victim was undergoing surgery and was unable to provide any information leading to the shooting. We do have some spot shotter activation around the town of the shooting so we are investigating whether that activation or those shot
Shootings, is that in some areas of the city, they have been group involved in games or groups and bayview, inkel tied e and we know theyre tied to previous homicides or homicides that happen in other cities and this is a phase of retaliation sometimes that retaliation has been laid and that is not uncommon. An incident may happen and you may have a retaliation a year later. Thats not uncommon at all. The other thing, in certain districts like in the tenderlo tenderloin, the degree of our shootings are by narcotics activity. Weve had narcotics related robberies go bad that results in shootings and the like and even some of the once outside of the tenderloin, we know for just based on investigations that that is narcotic related activity. Also, we know that very few of these shootings are just random. We have disputes and an argument that gets out of control and someone ends it with bringing out a gun. That number is not as large as the other two areas than the group involved and i say
The virus in the first place. We remember not too long ago the when we finally made the announcement that we would be opening gyms and hair salons and nail salons. Just think about how good it felt to feel normal. To go and get your hair done or your nails done or to go and workout at the gym and enjoy your time there, but just think about how much more important it was to the people who were finally able to open their business, who were finally able to get a paycheck, who finally had some level of certainty in their lives that they would be able to take care of themselves. Now, think about whats happening now. Im sure that so many of those people are scared. Last week we told the restaurants that they would no longer be able to operate indoors. What that meant was not only layoffs, but it also meant that there was a lot of lost revenue because of the food that they no longer were able to use. When you think about some of the things and the sacrifices that people are making, thats what
