Councilmember Darryl Moore is hosting a community meeting in the wake of two multiple shootings that took place in his Berkeley district this month, and members of one neighborhood are also organizing in an effort to improve safety locally.
On Friday March 2, three men were shot at around 6:21pm in the 2200 block of Bonar Street. The shootings came from a car that stopped near a group of at least five males standing outside, who may have been involved in a dice game. The three victims sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Two days later, at about 12:51 am on Sunday March 4, two suspects approached and shot at a group of about five men on 7th Street at Addison. BPD patrol officers responded and found the victims at Sixth and Bancroft Way as they were trying to leave the area. Three of the victims sustained gunshot wounds, none of which were deemed life threatening.
Both of the incidents are still under investigation by BPD.(...)
