ATF Raid on 1575 Treat
According to Special Agent Kim Riddell of the ATF Public Information Office, details of the raids were under seal and would only say those arrested were scheduled to be arraigned today at 1:30 p.m. in the U.S. Federal Court building in San Francisco.
A tipster to Precita.org said the arrested man was known as "Moe". Someone else described the scene: "there were about 6 or 8 guys with shotguns wearing ATF windbreakers standing around outside".
[UPDATE] KRON has coverage of the arrests this morning on Treat.
U.S. Attorney Joseph P. Russoniello announced the arrests today, and said the arrest on Treat was one of 14 alleged "mid-level" drug and gun traffickers in Northern California with Mexico, and that the suspects were involved in trafficking since at least 2006. They are considered to be the "king men" or "managers" in drug and gun trafficking communities in Northern California.




(video and article from KRON)
SF Examiner had brief coverage, as did CBS 5 / bay Cities News Service which said "Authorities did not release specifics about the raids, but said they involved searches related to guns and drugs."
San Jose Mercury had an article about the regional raids but no details on the San Francisco arrest.

Police Report and resolution of shooting near Bryant and Precita
4:15 pm Cesar Chavez and Bryant Streets
Ingleside and Mission Station officers responded to the neighborhood on the call of shots fired. Citizens reported seeing a gunman firing shots from an SUV. The investigation brought officers to the first block of Gold Mine Drive in the Diamond Heights neighborhood. There the officers found a handgun and ammunition. Three males: a 19 year old from the Mission District, another 19 year from Diamond Heights, and a 17 year old from the mid-Market Street neighborhood, were arrested for aggravated assault and gang charges.

Shooting at 26th and Shotwell Streets (update)
(Via the excellent San Francisco Crime Blog and tipster Marijane.)
SF Gate also has this:
A teen was transported to a local hospital after being shot in the arm and leg while in the Mission District Saturday, according to a San Francisco Police Department spokesman.
The 16-year-old victim was standing at the corner of 26th and Shotwell streets around 7:30 p.m. when the suspect allegedly approached him and fired shots for no reason, spokesman Neville Gittens said.
The victim sustained gunshot wounds to one arm and one leg and was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, said Gittens.
Police suspect the incident may have been gang-related.
So that accounts for the sound of gunfire and the tons of sirens shortly thereafter.
There was another fatal shooting at this same location in December of 2006. Because of that, several cameras were installed at that intersection. Apparently, the cameras had no deterrent effect on this crime.



We wonder if the cameras recorded anything useful, or if they help expedite the arrivals of police and ambulances? Or were they useful at all?

Car Breakins on Harrison?
But the thing that shocked us was hearing that several times in the last six months, they've walked down Harrison and seen a string of car break-ins, smashed windows, cars burglarized.
If you notice gang activity or tagging in that area, please call Ingleside Police Station at 404-4000 immediately. The community really needs to make sure that the gang activity on the stairway and surrounding streets stops as soon as possible.
Also, if you car does get broken into, please file a police report. We are not seeing these break-ins reported in the police log, and if they cops don't know about it they won't be looking out for it as much.
