San Diego police fired bean-bag rounds last night at a man who then stabbed a police dog in City Heights, authorities said.
AdvertisementAn officer fired one round from his pistol at the man, but missed. The man was taken to a hospital and treated for a dog bite and bruises.
The confrontation occurred at the Travel Lodge motel on El Cajon Boulevard near 50th Street about 8:45 p.m. Officers were investigating reports that a man had been waving a knife and threatening to stab people.
Officers spotted a man with a knife in one hand on a third-floor landing of the motel. An officer shot him twice with a bean-bag round to disarm him.
Police next radioed that the man was sitting on the landing with the knife still in one hand. They yelled orders at him, unleashed a police dog, and one officer fired a pistol at the man.
Next door at 4 Seasons Food Store, manager Munir Abdullh said he heard two gunshots and looked outside. He saw an officer with a dog in his arms run to a patrol car, put the dog inside, then speed away.
The dog was taken to an animal hospital for treatment of two stab wounds, police said. The dog was being kept overnight for observation.
Paramedics took the man to Scripps-Mercy Hospital.
Police contacted a man and a woman who said the man had come close to them with his knife, but they were not injured.
An Oceanside police dog was killed on the job Dec. 31 when a man grabbed him and jumped off the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. Cory Byron, 27, accused of leading officers on a pursuit from Oceanside, survived the 200-foot fall, but Stryker, the dog, did not.
“Driver of stolen car who was killed in crash ID’d”
►What I read today in the newspaper was that the driver of a stolen car who was killed after the car crashed in Bay Terraces in the South San Diego over the weekend has been identified as Joel Ayala, 23, of Spring Valley, that was what the medical Examiner’s officer said. What police said happened it was that in the late Saturday night, Ayala and another man, believe to be in his 20’s, confronted a woman in Paradise Valley road and woodman street, ordered her to lie on the ground and stole her car. The officer spotted the pair driving South on woodman Street and were starting to make a U-turn to follow them when the stolen car read-ended another car, hit two parked cars and rolled.
►I don’t agree because the criminals died.
►I also don’t agree because the criminals deserved to be punished and not to die.
►In the other hand it was the criminals fault to run and die on their accident.
►I think the most interesting fact its that they killed them selves.
Today in the union tribune, I read that Philip rivers’ knee injury was worse than he thought. In the icy air outside Gillette stadium on Sunday night, as Philip rivers readied to board the term bus, the Chargers’ quarterback was asked about not being entirely forthcoming over the previous few days regarding the extent of his knee injury. The deception was just part of a weeklong odyssey for rivers, one that started with secret arthroscopic surgery Monday to clean loose cartilage from his right knee and ended with him playing all of Sundays AFC championship game with essentially no anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. Rivers and the team felt comfortable revealing the full details yesterday, a day after the Chargers season ended one victory short of the super bowl 21-21 loss to the New England Patriots in foxborough Massachusetts.

Article; "Around Our Region"
Summary; This morning I chose to read about public saftey in our region. The section I read about was about a gunmen that opened fire in an alley, wounding two people. It took place in Oceanside on Monday night. Police are saying that two men drove past a group of three boys in their late teens in an alley near Grant and Division streets at about 11 a.m. The men that were armed got out of the vehicle and shot at the group. No one was killed, they did strike one in the leg, however. Sadly, there was an innocent witness that was shot in the hip while walking by. The victims were taken to the hospital right away and luckilly, the injuries were not life-threatening. While trying to investigate, the men say they had no idea who the guys were.
Reflection; This story is no surprise to me. Things like this happen everyday and half of what goes on is not known to the public. I can only hope that violence and crime declines.
- The San Diego Union Tribune
- Hidden cartel target range is reportedly found in raid
- The newspaper DOCUMENT that I read today was about a raid in Tijuana. This happened days after a wild, deadly shootout between drug cartel gunmen and Mexican police and soldiers, authorities have uncovered what they say is a clandestine ACADEMIC training ground for cartel assassins, complete with an underground target range that investigators belief went undetected for months. Heavily armed federal police raided the house Saturday night. They found two armored pickups at the home, along with two other vehicles that had hidden compartments. At ground level the two story green and white hillside house in the Independencia section of Tijuana included a machine shop for assembling and repairing weapons. Parts of disassembled pistols and rifles lay on the floors. Below ground was a target range measuring about 50 ft long by 21 ft wide and 8 ft high, its walls and ceiling lined with gray soundproofing material and equipped with a fan to ventilate the gun smoke.
- I think that this is an interesting article. I wonder how many of these houses there are in Tijuana. I think its funny because I pass in front of that house on the weekends.
- One interesting thing that I learned is that the neighbors nor the owners of the rented house had any idea of what was going on in there.
Today I red about Sadness anger hope six years after 9/11. For this the sixth anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil, The San Diego Union-Tribune wanted to find out what comes to mind when people think of Sept. 11, 2001. Others offered intensely personal thoughts about how they've been changed by what they witnessed that morning six years ago. We received more responses than we could possibly print The morning of September 11, 2001 was full of terror and tremendous sadness yet the afternoon brought welcomed peace and great joy as our grandson was born at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in San Diego Below are a few of them It was the day Americans put aside their differences and wept together. Sept. 11 reminds me that we should cherish life each day to its fullest and love God with all our hearts and just love our family and our fellow man.”
I was reading a very interesting article in the newspaper, the article was talking about a new trend in Japan that is becoming very popular. The trend is for writers to write their novels in the TEXT messages form. Many, mostly girls, are writing novels during their spare time on their cell phones. Their DOCUMENTS can be sent to a special website that can display their works even if they are not finished. The PLOT is usually very short and not ACADEMIC. The novels usually have a MAXIMUM of 200 pages. Since the novels are being written in text message they also have the little smiley faces and emoticons that text messages use. Also the novels are becoming very popular. Some of the novels are being reformatted and printed out as books and have become some the best selling books in the country. A key FACTOR that has contributed to this new trend is the accessibility of cell phones and how they are becoming more popular than personal computers. I believe that even though this seems like a cool trend since it is promoting reading, yet ,it is bad for the real authors that want to sell their books. But overall if the Japanese, who are usually more inclined to read comics and magna, are reading novels then I guess it is something good for them.
Article: Rivers' knee injury worse than he let on
Summary: On Sunday January 20, 2008 Phillip Rivers had an injured knee and play against the New England Patriots. Due to the sustained injury Phillip Rivers has to under go a reconstructive surgery in about 2 weeks. Due to his soon to come surgery rivers has to be in rehabilitation for four to six months before he is ready to play again. Rivers reported that his injury was a sprain medial collateral ligament. Rivers has a less than severe injury that does not effect Rivers in the same way than a torn ACL. Rivers denied that he had an ACL injury on Friday when they interviewed him. He also said," Why would I tell anyone about something like that?" on Sunday night and after that he also stated that if he did say something about his injury it would of change the way the New England Patriots played against them.
Reflections: Phillip Rivers should of presented a DOCUMENT from the doctors office before the game on Sunday. If Phillip Rivers was felt he was ok to play on Sunday he should of played the MAXIMUM amount of Quarters. I believe Phillip Rivers should let the rookie play more while he recovers and i believe he would do great because of his ACADEMIC grades in college.
Interesting fact: When u have a torn MCL your knee starts to drag and play the same way.
Researchers say that there could be a change of those marijuana smokers to get some kind of psychotic disorder. Many are doing research on whether pot could be dangerous or not. Statements from a new review are saying that even infrequent use of the drug can raise the chances to about 40% of a real risk at a mental illness. Many people believe that cannabis is no harm. But researchers now state that they have no actual proof of evidence that it can increase risk of psychosis, or one of the topics widely known as schizophrenia. One thing that is really known about the use of marijuana is that, for some fraction of those who are potheads the use of marijuana can sometimes lead to the use of other drugs, & at time after a while of using the illegal substance many people attitude and behavior changes. You only see a small fraction of students who use the illegal drug that actually are a bit on task and do their work. But even though there is still that small fraction of those school students with straight A’s that still smoke bud, it doesn’t mean that the use of marijuana helps them do work better. But of course marijuana gets you lazy and for some really off task. Colleagues from University of Bristol, Imperial College, and also students from Cambridge University discovered that those who do use marijuana have a 40% chance of developing a psychotic disorder later in life. But the over all risk still remains low. Users that use the drug daily or weekly, have a 50% to 200% of any disorders than those who do not use the substance. One thing I didn’t understand was that why did researchers seem to be so certain that the use of marijuana can cause some kind of psychosis disorder if they had no real evidence. I think to myself can this really be true or can they make all this up to scare marijuana users?....
