- The shooting near the Santa Rosa Cinco de Mayo festival, which erupted Tuesday night, left a man in his early 20s hospitalized in stable condition after life-threatening injuries.
- Officers working the event heard shots from the Dutton Avenue area, saw the wounded man run toward them, gave aid, and had him rushed to a nearby hospital.
- Investigators say an altercation in the Roseland Library parking lot on the 400 block of Sebastopol Road led a suspect to fire several rounds, and a stray bullet struck a nearby taco truck.
