Mayor Peter Kelly says HRM’s bal-looning homicide rate is “a majorconcern.”
He says Halifax police are doingwhat they can to bring thoseresponsible to justice, but it’s madedifficult by the refusal of some tocome forward.
“(Police) are out there trying tobring the charges, but in this cul-ture also ... those who know things,don’t come out to speak,” Kelly saidyesterday.
“So if we are going to resolvethese situations, then we needthose involved who have informa-tion to step forward. They can’t con-tinually hold back the informationwhen they know the informationbut are afraid or concerned tospeak.”
HRM’s 2011 homicide total of 13is the highest it’s been in at least sixyears. Of the 13, five have beensolved. Police say they expectcharges or resolutions in several
other cases soon.Kelly said the amount of drug
activity surrounding the majority ofthe murders is “problematic.”
“It’s disconcerting and some-thing we really have to get into interms of an overall understandingof this gang and drug culture,” hesaid.
“What we need to do is workwith Ottawa and their resources,work with the province and theirresources, and of course with ourown resources to go after these indi-viduals who believe gunplay is away to solve their problems.”

An Incredible Picnictakes over waterfront
Three-year-old Ellis Dummer chomps on some corn at the 2011 Incredible Picnic on the Halifax waterfront yesterday.
RYAN TAPLIN/METRO
Hundreds beat the heat onthe Halifax waterfront yes-terday by taking part in anunusual picnic.
The parking lot at thefoot of Salter Street wasconverted into the groundsfor an Incredible Picnic —one of several put on by theDepartment of Agricultureacross the province thissummer.
Vendors hocking localfair were lined across alarge tent, offering every-
thing from pulled-porksandwiches and coffee tothe ever-popular lobsterrolls. Picnickers had thechance to chat with chefsand owners to learn aboutwhere their food camefrom and how it was pre-pared.
“We’ve got great partici-pation from the chefs, whoare big supporters of local(food),” said JenniferReynolds, with the agricul-ture department.
Reynolds was manningone of the most popularbooths: free barbecued cornon the cob, picked fresh
from a local farm thatmorning.
The Sands at Salter willplay host to a five-day un-der-21 beach volleyballtournament from Aug. 31to Sept. 4. The event willbring 96 teams from 30countries to the Halifax wa-terfront.
In the meantime, the lotwill be used as a temporarygreen space, featuring 66truck loads of sand to makea free public “beach.”
“It’s wonderful. Weshould have this once ayear, even,” said Lois Berg-eron, who made the trip
downtown from Spryfieldyesterday.
Bergeron and her friendEthel Smith said they cometo the waterfront often, butagreed the parking-lot-turned-picnic-space was awelcome addition to the ex-perience.
Man struck,killed onHighway 111Police say they don’t whya 22-year-old Dartmouthman was in the middle ofHighway 111 prior to be-ing stuck and killed by acar near Burnside earlyyesterday morning.
Halifax Regional Policesay the accident on theCircumferential Highwayhappened just before 3a.m., heading eastboundtowards Burnside Drivenear Ramp 113A.
The man waspronounced dead at thescene.
“We don’t know exact-ly the circumstances thatbrought it to thatposition, but what we doknow is he was out in themiddle of the lanes whenhe was impacted by thevehicle,” said policespokesman Sgt. Kevin Mc-Neil.
“The car wasn’t able tosee him in time. He wasjust there — veryquickly.”
McNeil said he didn’tknow if alcohol played apart in the man headingout onto the highway, orwhere he came from.
Highway 111 betweenWindmill Road and Burn-side Drive was closed forabout three hours as po-lice investigated the acci-dent.

Public asked to weigh inon new council districts
Two options for new district boundaries floated by HRM ‘Can’t please everyone’ in moving from 23 to 16 councillors: Mayor
The Halifax Regional Mu-nicipality is asking resi-dents to weigh in onredrawing polling-districtboundaries.
A survey launched onthe municipality’s websiteon Friday aims at collect-ing feedback on several is-sues related to theboundary-review process,including desired council-lor-to-constituent ratio.
“I’m sure (the surveywill) bring a lot of com-mentary both from insidecouncil and from the pub-lic, that’s for sure,” MayorPeter Kelly said yesterday.
Last month, the NovaScotia Utility and ReviewBoard ruled Halifax re-gional council should becut by seven polling dis-tricts. Currently, there are23 regional councillorsplus a mayor. WhenHaligonians head to thepolls next fall, they’ll bevoting in 16 councillorsand a mayor.
But before then, theUARB will have to decidewhere — and how manypeople — those 16 council-lors will represent. The av-erage number ofconstituents per districtwill increase to about20,475 per councillor with16 districts, up from16,200.
Council will not be di-rectly involved in thatprocess. Councillors canmake recommendationson the coming districts in-ternally, but will not de-bate the issue.
Kelly predicted somechallenges throughout the
process, but the UARBshould focus on keepingdistinct communities un-der one district.
“When you have to gofrom 23 to 16, you can’tplease everyone,” Kellysaid. “But it doesn’t meanyou can’t try to make sureyou keep intact the com-munities of interest andlong-established neigh-bourhoods as best youcan.”
Two options for newboundaries are floated inthe survey, but Kellystressed they were prelim-inary and require publicfeedback before beingpassed off to the UARB.

The blockade original-ly began in an effort torestore the jobs of theworkers but has sinceexpanded to address oth-er grievances aboutsocial services andRobinson’s leadership.

A tentative deal thatwould see Ottawa providea loan guarantee for theproposed $6.2-billionMuskrat Falls hydroelec-tric project has been dis-missed by critics inNewfoundland andLabrador as little morethan political windowdressing, weeks ahead of aprovincial election.
The governments ofNewfoundland andLabrador, Nova Scotia andthe federal governmentsigned a memorandum ofagreement that puts inwriting a promise madeearlier this year by PrimeMinister Stephen Harperto support the massive
power project.Federal Natural Re-
sources Minister Joe Oliv-er couldn’t say how muchin savings would resultfrom the loan guarantee,adding Ottawa must firsthire financial advisers tohelp finalize the agree-ment by Nov. 30.
“We are committed andnow we are working onthe specific mechanics,”Oliver told a news confer-ence in St. John’s.
The lack of specifics setoff a torrent of criticismfrom Newfoundland’s op-position parties, whichare gearing up for an elec-tion set for Oct. 11.
The deal is merely “anagreement to agree,”shrugged NDP Leader Lor-raine Michael, who won-dered aloud what hashappened since Harpercommitted in March toback Muskrat Falls duringthe federal election cam-paign. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Libyan rebels raced intoTripoli in a lightning ad-vance yesterday that metlittle resistance as Moam-mar Gadhafi's defendersmelted away and his 40-year rule appeared to rapid-ly crumble. The euphoricfighters celebrated withTripoli residents.
Opposition fighters cap-tured Gadhafi's son andone-time heir apparent, Seifal-Islam. The prosecutor atthe International CriminalCourt in the Netherlandssaid he would contact therebels to discuss his han-dover for trial on charges ofcrimes against humanity.
The rebels easily ad-vanced from the west, tooktown after town, over-whelmed a major military
base, then swept into thecapital in a stunning turn-ing of the tide.
The fighters and sup-portive residents floodedGreen Square, shooting inthe air in celebration, clap-ping and waving the rebels'tri-colour flag. Some set fireto the green flag of Gad-hafi's regime and shot holesin a poster with his image.
Gadhafi's whereaboutsyesterday were unknown.But he delivered a series ofangry and defiant audiomessages broadcast onstate television, calling onhis supporters to march inthe streets of the capitaland “purify it” from “therats.” He was not shown inthe messages. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Battle Briefing
Uprising against Gadhafi
broke out in mid-February,and anti-regime protestsquickly spread. Brutal regime crackdown
transformed the protestsinto an armed rebellion. Rebels seized Libya’s east,
setting up an internation-ally recognizedgovernment, and twopockets in the west, theport city of Misrata and theNafusa mountain range.Green Square has been
the site of night rallies byGadhafi supporters. In August, thousands of
rebel fighters joined an of-fensive launched from themountains to the coast.
Moammar Gadhafi is theArab world's longest-rul-ing, most erratic, fascinat-ing leader — presiding for42 years over this NorthAfrican desert republicwith vast oil reserves and
just six million people. He was an international
pariah blamed for the 1988bombing of a Pan Am jetover Scotland, which killed270 people. After years ofdenial, Libya acknowl-
edged responsibility andagreed to pay up to $10 mil-lion to victims’ relatives,easing him back into theinternational community.A speech he gave in Febru-ary fueled the rebellion.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASSING AMOTION WITH137 ‘LIKES’
Government by Facebookpost? We could do worse. We do. Read any report ortranscript of any Halifax
council meeting.And then consider this.On Thursday afternoon, Bedford
Coun. Tim Outhit posted on hisFacebook wall: “$20 million to widenBayers Road, or $25 million to launch aninitial commuter rail service?”
He invited his Facebook friends to weigh in. By Sat-urday morning, he’d had 67 responses.
Most — perhaps no surprise — favoured rail. Far more interesting — and perhaps surprising —
was the quality of the discussion.Outhit’s question followed a February staff report
he’d asked for on thescheme’s feasibility.
Staff estimated a five-stop service betweenWindsor Junction and theVia station through exist-ing rail corridors wouldcost $31 million to launchplus $6.5 million annually.
Starting the service ini-tially at Bedford, ofcourse, would make itcheaper — and thereforecomparable to the contro-versial scheme to widenBayers Road to accommo-date more gas-guzzling,on-the-road-to-no-place-to-
park one-rider automobiles.During the Facebook exchanges, official reports and
blog posts were referenced and linked, significantquestions asked and answered.
John Wesley Chisholm posted a link on the historyof a Truro-Halifax commuter-rail system that operateduntil the Halifax Explosion.
“This is not a dream or fantasy,” he wrote. “This isHalifax as it was planned and intended to work.... Wecould make it happen.”
“Start with Bedford to Halifax,” allowed WayeMason, but then add more stops “and a huge park-and-ride terminal at Duke.... Let’s get low-floor rail thatcan operate as streetcars, like Austin, Texas, but can goon freight rails, and then drive a rail down Hollis, allthe way to and through (the) dockyard.”
Even those, like Mike Flemming, who argued, “Wedo not have the population base to make (commuter-rail) service economically viable,” pushed for a more“efficient transit system that brings commuters fromthe outskirts to transit hubs.”
“Let’s invest in the future of transportation insteadof extending the agony of the current inefficient anddoomed mode of transportation that is the single-com-muter car (or SUV),” summed up Tom Servaes, addingwistfully: “I’d love to zip along the Basin reading myemail on the way into the city.”
Would that city council sessions sounded sosensible.

ANTI-AGING. Babyboomers heading intowhat used to be called re-tirement age are provid-ing a 70-million-member-strong market for legionsof companies, entrepre-neurs and cosmetic sur-geons eager to capitalizeon their “forever young”mindset, whether viawrinkle creams, faceliftsor workout regimens.
It adds up to potentialbonanza. The market-re-search firm Global Indus-try Analysts projects thata boomer-fuelledconsumer base, “seekingto keep the dreaded signsof aging at bay,” willpush the U.S. market foranti-aging products fromabout $80 billion now tomore than $114 billionby 2015.
From organizationssuch as the NationalInstitute on Aging, thegeneral advice is to be askeptical consumer onguard for possible scamsinvolving purported anti-aging products.
“Our culture placesgreat value on stayingyoung, but aging is nor-mal,” the institute says.“Despite claims aboutpills or treatments thatlead to endless youth, notreatments have beenproven to slow or reversethe aging process.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

His grotesque love affairHard work and horror drive Guillermo del Toro Filmmaker seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary
Film writer and producer Guillermo del Toro, seen here with Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark star Bailee Madison,
has loved the horror genre since childhood.
HANDOUT
Guillermo del Toro may bethe world’s cuddliestboogeyman. When I enterthe hotel room to interviewthe 47 year old producer ofDon’t Be Afraid of the Dark,he stands up and hugs me.Not exactly what you antici-pate from the master ofhorror.
But then again, surpris-es are his stock in trade.From the eerie Pale Mancharacter in Pan’sLabyrinth to the deadlymechanical scarab ofCronos, he has trained
viewers to expect the un-expected from his films.
A career spent scaringthe pants off people hasgiven the director some in-sight on why we like to beterrified at the movies.
“We try to look for theextraordinary in our ordi-nary lives,” he says. “That’sjust the normal way we be-have as spiritual beings.And horror movies allowus to live extraordinary ex-periences without havingto go through extraordi-nary risk.
“I have a harder time un-derstanding reality showsthan I have a hard time un-
derstanding genre films. Be-cause genre films give yousomething you don’t get inreal life. Reality shows giveyou people you would nor-mally never talk to in reallife. Why are you interestedin watching them?”
Not that the self-de-scribed workaholic hasmuch time to watch realityTV. When he’s not execu-
tive producing Oscar nomi-nated movies like Biutiful,he’s writing the much an-ticipated Lord of the Ringsfilm The Hobbit: An Unex-pected Journey, or workingon a new novel with his co-writer Chuck Hogan. Add tothat the alien attack moviePacific Rim which he’llspend the next year filmingin Toronto and you have
one of the busiest men inthe business.
“Hard work is pleasurefor me,” he says, addingthat luckily, “I have beensurrounded by a system ofenabling family and I sub-merge myself in my work.”
A horror fan since child-hood, (“I read Salem’s Lot inone sitting,” he says. “Elevenhours from eight a.m. to sev-en p.m. outside in the pool. Ihad a second degree burnbecause of that!”), he hassimple criteria for the proj-ects he accepts.
“You should only get in-volved in things you loveirrationally,” he says.

When keeping it real goes wrongExperts fear more real-world turmoil for those who seek fame on reality TV series
Reality came crashing in onRussell Armstrong. Withthe second season of TheReal Housewives of BeverlyHills set to premiere in afew weeks, and a pendinglawsuit and divorce, theventure capitalist-turned re-ality personality hangedhimself.
Armstrong left behindno note explaining why,leaving others to indict anddefend a genre that hasseen its share of off-screenturmoil that often dwarfsthe drama caught on cam-era.
The headlines include amurder, drug trafficking,overdoses, financial ruin,and custody disputes anddivorces that play out in thetabloids as much as they docourtrooms. Experts cau-tion reality TV is not solelyto blame, but the full im-pact on its participants andaudience is not yet known.
At least temporarily,Armstrong’s suicide hasshaken one of the genre’sbrashest franchises.
Bravo, which airs The Re-al Housewives of BeverlyHills, is re-editing theshow’s second season,which had planned to focuson the marital strife be-
tween Armstrong and hiswife, Taylor. The networkdid not say how it would al-ter the unaired episodes, orwhether it would incorpo-rate any mentions of sui-cide prevention resources.
Beyond Housewives, fewpeople, including Russell
Armstrong’s own attorney,expect the suicide to havebroad implications for thereality show industry.
“I don’t think it’ll makeany difference at all,” attor-ney Ronald Richards said inan interview. He said hehoped the show would re-
move Armstrong from itsstoryline altogether, butsaid his client had beenwarned of the pitfalls of ap-pearing in a reality seriesbefore signing on.
Housewives has since itsdebut in 2006 thrived onthe divorces, foreclosuresand tempers of its well-heeled cast members’ lives.The Washington, D.C., ver-sion starred a couple ac-cused of crashing a statedinner at the White House,and the first season of theNew Jersey version endedwith one housewife angrilycalling a fellow cast mem-ber a “whore” and over-turning a table while thewoman’s children lookedon.
Stars of current hitshows such as Jersey Shorehave revelled in bad behav-iour, while even those thataim to help have beenrocked by off-screentragedy. Two alumni ofCelebrity Rehab — actorJeff Conaway and former Al-ice In Chains bassist MikeStarr have died after theirseasons aired.
The precise impact of theshows on their stars’ laterlives is difficult to deter-mine, yet the Armstrongsare just one of many cou-ples whose relationship fail-ures have been chronicledby reality TV.
The TLC-series Jon andKate Plus 8 was upended af-ter it was revealed the cou-ple’s marriage was inshambles; the reconfiguredshow Kate Plus 8 was re-cently cancelled.
Younger parents are alsofair game, with shows suchas Teen Mom showing notonly the custody strugglesof young mothers, but astreet fight that had endedwith charges being filed.
“It’s really hard to knowwhat would have happenedto these people otherwise,”said Karen Sternheimer, asociology professor at theUniversity of Southern Cali-fornia.
“We don’t have a controlgroup of other dramaqueens.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PsychologyMajor productions usepsychological testingto try to predict howparticipants willrespond to thepressures of the realityshow.
“That’s where thebiggest problem lies asa psychologist,” saidDr. Richard Levak,who helped developpsychological testingfor early seasons ofSurvivor, The AmazingRace and TheContender.
“You don’t knowhow they’re going tounravel,” he said.
Producers oftenwant people on theirshows who happen tohave histories of beingabused, depression orother issues. “Themost colourful and in-teresting people wereoften the ones whohave psychological is-sues,” he said.

Tie the knot on a budgetDecades of brides havewalked down the aislesporting something old,something new, some-thing borrowed or some-thing blue. JessicaKavanagh’s clients can alsoboast something black —the bottom line of theirwedding day budget.
Kavanagh, 23, may havehad to spend hours walk-ing the bride through sec-ond-hand stores in searchof the perfect dress andlikely devoted days to ar-ranging the nuptial flow-ers by hand to keep costsdown, but believes thetime is always well-spent.
Creating a big day on asmall budget is a key focusof her Toronto event plan-ning business, J. KavanaghEvents, and weddings areno exception. If anything,
With Kim Kardashian’s wedding nuptials to Kris Humphries rumoured to be in themillions of dollars, we take a look at wedding planning for those of us with thinner wallets
THE CANADIAN PRESS/ VINCENT ELKAIM
Kavanagh says, a marriagecelebration represents anideal time to exercise fiscalrestraint. “Yes, this is yourwedding and it’s so excit-ing and a big life moment,but this is like thepregame show to the mar-riage. It’s only one day,”Kavanagh said. “It’s just acelebration, not the be-all-end-all of your life.”
The first thing Ka-vanagh needs to adjust isnot the price of the entireevent but the expectationsof the couple tying theknot, she said.
She urges couples tolook beyond traditional
wedding vendors andtime-honoured venues,saying conventional think-ing can often lead to adizzying price-tag.
Kavanagh’s advicestruck a chord with AlisonMacKenzie, whose budgetfor her October weddingthreatened to spiral out ofcontrol without sometimely intervention.
She and her fiance werewilling to shell out fortheir wedding attire, theirrings and an open bar re-ception, but felt the rest ofneeded a thriftier touch.
Their decision to servecocktails and appetizers
instead of a sit-down din-ner went a long way tokeeping costs down,MacKenzie said, adding Ka-vanagh stepped in withother suggestions.
“Jessica was great aboutwarming me up to the ideaof doing our own flowers,”she said. “You don’t haveto spend 50 to 100 bucksfor centrepieces. We’llhave flowers throughoutthe venue, but we’ll dothose ourselves.”
MacKenzie’s guests willmingle at the reception inthe glow of cost-effectivecandlelight and munch oncupcakes instead of a tradi-
tional, pricier weddingcake. They won’t leavebearing a conventionalwedding favour, but willlearn that a donation hasbeen made in their nameto a charity that matters tothe couple.
MacKenzie said thesedecisions will allow herand her fiance to celebratetheir big day with a clearconscience. “We didn’twant to be saddled with ahuge Visa bill or debt atthe end of it,” she said.“That’s a great way to startyour marriage, ‘Let’s talkabout a repayment plan.’”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Friend said he’s versatileenough to play any posi-tion.
“My big thing is, I love towin. … Whatever the teamneeds, I’m ready,” he said.
Oppong finished up his
Division I career at EastKentucky in 2009-10, aver-aging 11 points per gamewhile shooting almost 45per cent from three-pointrange.
“His (shooting) stroke isalmost as sweet as Des’,”Andre Levingston said, ref-erencing former Rainmenall-star Desmond Ferguson.“With Des retiring, we
needed a shooter.”The Rainmen also select-
ed five-foot-10 point guardJerrell Thompson in thethird round, 16th overall,but that pick was voided be-cause Thompson is anAmerican from Plainville,N.J. He will be invited to theRainmen’s camp as a freeagent, Levingston said.

Pre-season: Mooseheadsbuilding a winning attitude
The Halifax Mooseheads aresetting a winning tone inthe QMJHL pre-season.
The Mooseheads pulledoff a home-and-homesweep of the rival Cape Bre-ton Screaming Eagles intheir first games of the year,beating them 4-0 yesterdayin Sydney and 4-1 at theHalifax Forum on Saturday.
While it’s only exhibi-tion play, it’s exactly whatthe franchise hoped for af-ter three tough seasons.
“We’re building that atti-tude where every time weput on the jersey, we’re go-ing for a win,” said Moose-heads head coach
Dominique Ducharme. It was a great weekend
for the team defensively asfour goaltenders lookedsharp while sharing time inthe victories. Rookies ZachFucale and Marc-OlivierDaigle and veteran FredericPiche all pitched half-gameshutouts, while AnthonyTerenzio surrendered thelone goal on Saturday.
Herd has at least half a dozen cuts left to make from 32 players left on roster

Luis Perez perfect through five innings in his first big-league start Jose Bautista hits 36th homer to give Blue Jays win over Athletics
Off to a great start
Luis Perez pitches against the Athletics yesterday.
DINO VOURNAS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
So confident in his sinker-ball starter, Toronto man-ager John Farrell left LuisPerez in the game to getout of his own bases-loaded jam with the gameon the line.
Perez calmly took careof it — composed, as ifhe’d done this many timesbefore.
Perez pitched six bril-liant innings in his firstbig-league start and com-bined with Casey Janssenon a one-hitter, and JoseBautista connected for hismajors-best 36th homerun to send the Blue Jaysover the Oakland Athletics1-0 yesterday.
“I felt great. I wasn’tfeeling tired,” Perez saidthrough his translator,Blue Jays coach LuisRivera. “I was happy hehad the confidence in meto pitch and finish the in-
ning with the basesloaded.”
Bautista broke up ascoreless game with a deepdrive into the left-fieldbleachers on the 10thpitch he saw from Guiller-mo Moscoso (6-7) leadingoff the seventh.
Perez (3-2) didn’t allowan A’s runner until CliffPennington drew a five-pitch walk to start the
sixth. Jemile Weeks latersingled up the middle toload the bases, but Perezinduced an inning-endingdouble play by Coco Crispwith his final pitch.
Perez had made 29 re-lief appearances this sea-son and was a starterthroughout his minor-league career.
“He’s a confident kid,”catcher J.P. Arencibia said.“If he’s going to get beat,he’s going to get beat at-tacking guys.”
The 26-year-old left-han-der — Oakland’s ninth op-posing lefty starter in 14games — struck out fourand walked two whilethrowing 80 pitches. Hebaffled Oakland’s hitterswith a fastball that movedand also mixed in hischangeup.
Pretty good for a guywho hadn’t gone more
than four innings sinceMay 15 while in triple-A.For his career, he had onlyeight appearances of twoor more innings in the bigleagues.
Perez said he didn’tthink about being perfector his no-hit bid, butrather to keep going afterthe Oakland batters.
“I hadn’t started a gameand I didn’t know how farI was going to go,” Perezsaid. “Mentally I stayedstrong. Each inning Ipitched better and better. Ikept attacking hitters andthrowing strikes.”
Janssen struck out fivein three innings, earninghis second save in threechances this season andninth of his career. CloserFrank Francisco warmedup but his shoulder stiff-ened up and he couldn’tgo. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Police interviewed witness-es and looked for suspectsyesterday after two menwere shot and woundedfollowing a San Francisco49ers-Oakland Raiders pre-season game, while theNFL and the mayors of thetwo cities jointly called foran end to “intimidation”and acts of violence atsporting events.
Saturday night’s shoot-ing in the parking lot atCandlestick Park in SanFrancisco evoked memo-ries of another recent dis-turbing act of post-gameviolence involving two ri-val California pro-sportsteams — the near-fatalbeating this spring of a SanFrancisco Giants fan out-side Dodger Stadium.
In Saturday’s attacks, a24-year-old man, who re-portedly was wearing a “F--- the Niners” T-shirt, re-mained hospitalized in se-rious condition yesterdayafter being shot severaltimes in the stomach. Hemanaged to stumble toCandlestick Park stadiumsecurity for help despitethe severe injuries, policesaid.
A second victim, a 20-year-old man, was treatedfor less serious wounds in aseparate shooting, also af-ter the game.
Sgt. Mike Andraychaksaid no arrests have beenmade and that police arelooking for “a person of in-terest” connected to atleast one of the shootings.He would not specifywhich shooting.
A motive for either at-tack — including whether
either was influenced byemotions surrounding agame involving fiercely ri-val teams — also wasn’tknown.
Apart from the shoot-ings, a third victim, a 26-year-old man, was alsohospitalized in serious con-dition yesterday after hewas knocked unconsciousin a stadium bathroomduring the game. That at-tack appeared unrelated tothe other two, police said.
The victims’ names havenot been released as the vi-olent spree overshadowedthe 49ers’ 17-3 victory overthe Raiders.
NFL spokesman GregAiello echoed said “we de-plore the activities of ahandful of fans at lastnight’s game and pledgeour full support to Mayors(Ed) Lee and (Jean) Quanand to state and local law-enforcement agencies.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Fans come to ourstadiums to enjoyan afternoon offootball, not to besubjected tointimidation orviolence. Thesegames are familyevents and thetypes of images wewitnessed lastnight have noplace in ourarenas.”SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR ED LEE ANDOAKLAND MAYOR JEAN QUAN ONTHE POST-GAME VIOLENCE
