Not the best way for our town to ring in the New Year, tragic all the way around. After the "incident" last summer on Ocean Blvd. .... this is the last thing this town needs!

I was up waiting for my son who was out in the town on foot and I heard the gunshots. I texted him to see where he was and tell him not to walk home since I had just heard gunshots. He and his friends laughed their hearts out and texted me back telling me to turn the tv off and go to bed. I hope they learn there are real reasons for concern when people drink too much and are out too late. My heart goes out to the families of all of those affected, I don't even want to think how I would feel right now if it was one of my family members.

Surprise, surprise SD Detectives say it's a suicide...heard that tale before. As for the Coronado PD, they told me two of my bikes committed suicide in the last year. If they can't figure out who goes around stealing locked bikes all day every day here, we're in serious trouble now that we have real crime.
