Where they called a shooting in the area of the University..."Uni-related" it seems that reports contradict this. We have crime in this area but many times it is people coming from outside the area. I saw the aftermath of this on my way home. The block was cordoned off and there were about 7 squad cars with flashing lights.

Here is the police email that came out about it:

Uni Police Crime Alert - Shooting
Top Dog Parking Lot On **** Avenue

A shooting occurred today at 3:44 p.m. in the parking lot east of Top Dog located on **** Avenue. One injured victim is receiving treatment from emergency personnel. ***PD and ***PD are investigating. Please stay out of the area.

UPDATE: While the investigation is ongoing, early indications are that the victim is not affiliated with the University.

Further information will be provided as the investigation continues.

What I think:
There have been other crimes involving students and where students were in fact the victims of crimes but this one was not UC related. The only relation to UC is geography. It is in the area or neighborhood of the college.

I live on South side. I know that there is crime in my neighborhood and I watch for that. I keep an eye out. I don't walk around with headphones on and I hold my bag in a certain way. I don't make myself fodder for a purse snatcher and I try not to look vulnerable.

Such are the facts of life in my town.
