"Each Generation Ruins Our Nation" shot at Islais Creek in the Bayview by Plug 1.

San Francisco's Mission district isn't the only neighborhood to see shootings over the weekend. The San Francisco Police Department, according to CBS 5/BCN, are currently "investigating a Sunday night shooting that occurred at San Bruno Avenue and Woolsey Street" in the Bayview area.

It's an interesting question, one raised this week by SF Weekly's Ashley Harrell. See, way back in 2005, Newsom talked to the San Francisco Chronicle about his Arnold Drummond-like foster brother, whom he called Suliman Ashby. He brought him up as an explanation as to why he's comfortable sipping malt liquor and just chilling 'til the next episode on the streets of Bayview. "He was like a brother," Newsom told the Chron. "I spent a lot of time with him in Marin City, just hanging out with the guys, screwing around. I'm convinced this is why I'm so comfortable in Bayview."

After a rare four-alarm fire ripped through seven warehouses in San Francisco's Bayview district yesterday (check out photos of the inferno here), firefighters finally contained the blaze last night. According to Appeal/BCN, and most harrowing of all, "[m]arijuana was found growing in one of the buildings," which was presumably torched beyond recognition. No word yet what caused the fire.

              

Plug1 was on the scene at this morning's four-alarm fire at Wallace and Jennings in the Bayview District. The blaze started at 11 a.m. and engulfed five warehouses, nearly an entire block. Today has unfortunately been a busy one for firefighters.

A little before 5:30 p.m. last night, and Appeal reports that Delvon Fields, 28, was shot near the intersection of Third Street and McKinnon Avenue in the Bayview. Fields was rushed to SF General where he was later pronounced dead. No arrests have been made, no suspect information is available. However, if you know anything about Fields' death, please call the Bayview anonymous tip line at 415-822-8147.

SUNDAY / FILLMORE: Two peole are expected to survive a drive-by shooting in the Fillmore district. According to CBS 5, "One person was shot in the thigh and another in the ankle near Eddy and Laguna streets around 8:30 p.m." One suspect, much to our surprise, was arrested. But police are not sure if said detainee is a suspect. Or something like that.

On Sunday morning a little before 10:30 a.m. in the Bayview district, Levit Chavez Jr., 22, allegedly stabbed to death his father, Levit Chavez Sr., 49. According to SF Weekly, Chavez Jr. "is being held in connection with his father's stabbing death and the near-fatal stabbing of the elder Chavez' longtime girlfriend at 47 Ceres Street near Third Street." Jr. was arrested, it seems, after hiding out at a nearby Walgreens. While the reason for this weekend's grim patricide is not yet know, suggest that it "appear[s] to have stemmed from 'some type of argument.'" Intriguing, indeed. Anyway, this brings San Francisco's murder rate to 18 for 2009.

SUNDAY, BAYVIEW: On the 200 block of Paul Avenue a little before 6:30 a.m. yesterday, a man in his 50s 39-year-old Warren Foster Jr. of San Francisco "was found suffering gunshot wounds and taken to a local hospital where he later died." No arrests were made. And in a jarring turn of events, here's a "good" story about SF's beleaguered Bayview district, something or other about a food giveaway. Enjoy. (SF Crime, CBS 5)

-- A Vallejo husband and father, Kevin Owens, 41, went though with a murder/suicide pact (with himself, we guess) on Friday night. He shot and killed his wife, Stacey Owens, 38; wounded his two-year-old daughter; and then turned the gun on himself (right after "a big Thanksgiving dinner at their home Thursday night.") This happened on the 300 block of Carousel Drive. Owens' 10-year-old son managed to escape the bloodbath, run to a neighbor's,...

It seems that the two shooting victims knew each other, "one worked as a...

This morning the 18-year-old fire-starter was arrested for setting ablaze the Good Shepherd Convent, on 10/13. The front and back doors were set on fire during the early hours of 5 a.m. that day.

Locally, the big news was the second best blog party last Friday thrown by TechCrunch down in Menlo Park. Scott Beale was commissioned to take the photos, including the one above featuring an uneasy handshake between Valleywag's Nick Douglas (left) and his favorite whipping boy, TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington. Nick had been bumped off the exclusive invite list, but Michel must have relented. If he had been dis-invited, apparently crashing the party was not an option.
