3 SB shootings in a hour

SAN BERNARDINO -- In the course of about an hour, San Bernardino Police detectives were called out to three different shootings in the city, authorities said.

"It was very busy for us between last night and early this morning," said Lt. Rich Lawhead with the San Bernardino Police Department Sunday morning.

Around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, police were called out to the 1400 block of E. Ninth Street for a shooting. Paramedics found a man lying on the ground in an open area of an apartment complex with a gunshot wound to his leg, Lawhead said.

"He had a wound to his femoral artery in his leg," Lawhead said.

Paramedics transported the unidentified man to Loma Linda University Medical Center where he underwent surgery and is currently in critical condition.

Police currently have no suspect descripition at this time.

About half an hour before the Ninth Street shooting, a known gang member was sitting in a vehicle in the 1700 block of W. Union Street, said Lawhead when two unidentified men reportedly ran up to the vehicle and began shooting.

The man in the vehicle was struck once in the back, according to authorities.

Paramedics transported the man to a local hospital where he is expected to survive.

At 11:30 p.m. Saturday night, a man was leaving the El Agave Bar at 149 N. Mt. Vernon Avenue when he was approached by a man who demanded the keys to his vehicle and his wallet, Lawhead said.

in the leg and fled the scene.

The shooting victim was taken to a hospital with a non-life threatening wound.

According to Lawhead, the man shot outside the bar was not cooperating with police investigators.

"It's difficult to work some of these cases when people don't cooperate with us," Lawhead said.

The three shootings come hours after a man was shot and killed Saturday afternoon near 11th and H streets.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner's office on Sunday released the name of the victim of a shooting that occurred on 11th Street this weekend.

The victim was Vincent Tristram Downey, Jr., 24, of Rialto, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner's website.

San Bernardino Police officers went to the 700 block of West 11th Street shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports that gunfire was heard in the area.

When police arrived they found Downey outside a home near 11th and H streets with a gunshot wound.

Downey was taken to a local hospital where he died.

Stay safe out there.....

Better believe it. I'm trying to get the homie to get some alley Boyz on here but even tho he is MY homie he is skeptical about the site for obvious reasons. But appearantly shit is getting extremely active in that part of town too...are they cool with squad G'z by chance? Anyway damn, the south side, the west side projects, and the Eastside...all in an hour. TheNirthside has had alot of activity too and the true rocks still have a presence...whole city going wild. Shit is old and it's really a sad shame because people seem happy they live in a fucked up gang ridden city.

I heard they had San G and Pacific on lock down the other day because of all the shootings going on over there. Some dude's car broke down in the middle of the road and ended getting shot up. All that area is Squad G's, Eastside IE's, or Alley Boys and out of towners.

The pphg'z still have a presence to I just ran into my cousin and so e oh his boys at the liquor store right below del rosa on highland avenue. I know they consider the whole east side as their turf. That couldn't of just been random though either someone recognized an enemy or it was some road rage. But then again they found the shooter and he dumped a stolen vehicle according to the post a couple days ago...so that most def wasn't random. Though they made it sound that way in the news.

Yeah, I forgot about PPHG. They're all in that area too. They must have spotted an enemy. Terrible thing to have your car break down in an area where your enemies are. There was also another shooting near Pacific around that same time, which was apparently unrelated. And then there was another dude who got shot off 9th in the Ascots just last night too. All of them have been in the same general vicinity......something is brewing in that area for sure.

Alley Boyz and Squad G'z beef
