STOCKTON HOLDING UP IT'S IMAGE

By Bob Walsh


Newspaper cover


There were seven people shot over the past weekend in the crime-ridden and gang-infested metropolis of Stockton.  Two of those shot died.  That brings the count for the year to 45 dead, not quite one per week.  Not a record, but definitely worth an honorable mention.  

Among those shot was a 5-year old.  

The local fishwrapper is way behind the curve on crime reporting.  I don't know if that is because the RECORD does not do their own printing any more and their deadline is way back or they have cut back so far on staff that they just can't get the news out when it is actually news.
