Police began a search for clues after a man walked in to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the stomach. The severity of the victim’s wounds were not immediately known.

Officers searching Adelaide have reportedly found evidence of bullet strikes to buildings and cars in the area. A crime scene has also reportedly been located in the 1500 block of Adelaide.

    “Police began a search for clues after a man walked in to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the stomach.”

    Really? There is NOT a local hospital for every shooting. Try 911 or Uber next time. Better yet, let there not be a next time for you. So many guns.

      Believe a friend or friends drove him to the hospital and he walked in under his own power. Of course, hospitals refer to cases like this as “walk-ins” but he may have gotten inside and collapsed…

        Understood. I wouldn’t have made it five feet without assistance. And there would have been some foul language to ease the pain…

          You bet. Rarely those neat little holes you see in the movies.

    There’s too many criminals running around out there! That’s the problem!
    They will use guns, knives, hammers ……..and ban those, and they will use forks, sicssors rocks etc. Then who knows, bombs.
    I’m not a super gun supporter but just want to point out that it’s the criminal that’s the problem. We have some crazy criminal supporters out there too would rather see them with the guns and not the police.
    Things are going to get worse unless we put our heads on straight.

    It’s the Wild West out there friends and neighbors, always have a hogleg. 108RS

    • Brendan on Nov 18, 2021 at 7:23 am

      Arm everyone…. free ammo….. shootouts at noon. Yippeekayyay!!!!

      • Jeff on Nov 18, 2021 at 7:26 am

        Not exactly. Have local sheriff’s conduct backgrounds, short training session and issue permits. 108RS

        • Siobhan Hunter-Maartz on Nov 18, 2021 at 7:48 am

          More guns on the streets. Perfect.

          • Greg T on Nov 18, 2021 at 8:03 am

            Because of more criminals on the street……

          Works for Kenosha. And the world got to see what an AR15 does to human tissue.

          • Jeff on Nov 18, 2021 at 8:15 am

            It did work in Kenosha, I’m sure many of the rioters had second thoughts later in the evening. It was a shame and mistake that Kyle showed up at all, but there may have been something positive from the night.



    • S. Waverly on Nov 18, 2021 at 11:12 am

      Any solutions that don’t involve a body count and heavily armed civilians roaming the streets?

      • Jeff on Nov 18, 2021 at 2:01 pm

        Sure, a faster judicial process, charging all crimes, opening low security custody facilities in rural areas, tougher judges, better screening of jurors.

    I live near Sun Valley Mall and there was some kind of manhunt going on, because the helicopter flew over the area for about 30 minutes last night, wide circles around our neighborhood.

    • NEWS24-680 on Nov 18, 2021 at 10:48 am

      Several incidents last night…

      • Jeff on Nov 18, 2021 at 2:07 pm

        Can you elaborate? Should 108RS have been rolling to Sun Valley to provide cover for CPD and PHPD? 108RS

        • NEWS24-680 on Nov 18, 2021 at 2:24 pm

          Ha! Unsure of your actual service status, Jeff, and we don’t pry… but we (Call Sign NUZ24680) were kept busy chasing down major incidents across the area (and on into the morning) with 1.) a ping-pong chase from Lafayette to Alamo and ending in Orinda with two arrests, 2.) the shooting we reported on here (one hit and still under investigation, we presume), 3. a flurry of cat converter thefts in PHill (which we Flashed), 4.) a cutting on Buskirk, 5.) a couple of Fentanyl cases and a recalcitrant suspect down in the nether regions of the Valley. Some other stuff meaningful to the neighborhoods which we ended up Flashing rather than work into stories for the site… that 3.8 Shaker didn’t even make it onto the site!

          • Jeff on Nov 18, 2021 at 2:33 pm

            Yeah, I guess I could get a scanner, I have an app on my phone. Retired, but still ready to hook and book. 108RS



          • NEWS24-680 on Nov 18, 2021 at 2:38 pm

            For us, it usually starts with a series of texts, emails or phone queries from neighbors who want to know why there’s a helicopter hovering over their house or a bunch of LEOs crisscrossing the neighborhoods with big guns… we’re lucky to get “eyes on” reports and photos/vids.

    Jeff, you wrote:
    “It did work in Kenosha, I’m sure many of the rioters had second thoughts later in the evening.”

    This kind of vigilantism, an out of town teenager with an automatic weapon, purchased illegally, is no less than a lynching in its chilling effect. If true, if “It did work” to suppress an appeal for equal rights, equal justice, we are all the lesser for it. Your take on this turns “law and order” on its head. The early mission of bounty hunters/police returning escaped slaves by any means necessary for profit to their “rightful owner” is the wellspring, the raison d’etre, for the mission you delight in.

    If there are looters, rioters committing crime, that is illegal, and they can be prosecuted in a society ruled by law, not summarily shot.

      david,

      I am all for peaceful protest, I think Martin Luther King was one of our greatest Americans. When the protest turns to rioting and looting, the authorities should arrest and if necessary use force. When the authorities refuse to do so (Oakland, Berkeley, etc) then it becomes a matter for the people.

      Notice how Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty of all charges.

      • B Gordon Selfidge on Nov 19, 2021 at 10:53 am

        Not at all surprising. What IS surprising is that with all the guns out there that night only two people were killed and one wounded. Allowing kids and para military wannabe to parade in your streets is just asking for trouble — with the expected results. Good luck Wisconsin.

        • Jeff on Nov 19, 2021 at 10:56 am

          It may soon be coming to California, given the arguments recently presented before the US Supreme Court. 108RS

          And, I wonder why our benevolent host did not post up my picture of the Walnut Creek rioting?

          • NEWS24-680 on Nov 19, 2021 at 11:03 am

            Couldn’t get it to download, Jeff, and we don’t like to forward bad links to the readership… makes them cranky.

            What’s “it?”



          • Jeff on Nov 19, 2021 at 11:28 am

            Open carrying of firearms, without a permit. 108RS



        • Mark Jones on Nov 19, 2021 at 12:15 pm

          Kenosha is a one off. Antifa, BLM, and lockdowns have given historic increases in violence. The murder rate in Stockton doubled. Oakland has gone from approximately 70 murders to 119 (50+% increase), and counting. Six weeks left. Mostly black and brown young men.

  6. Nicky Harvey on Nov 19, 2021 at 12:03 pm

    @Jeff “Open carrying of firearms, without a permit. 108RS”
    That should definitely liven up the bar scene on Friday nights.

    • Jeff on Nov 19, 2021 at 12:13 pm

      I’m not in favor of it, but when you have politicians from various states including California denying all concealed carry permits, even to those who might have a legitimate reason, well, the Constitution rears it’s head. And, this isn’t personal, I am HR218. 108RS
