BAN HOUSE PARTIES, NOT GUNS

By Bob Walsh


The Chico State campus sat mostly empty on Friday after in-person classes were canceled earlier in the week. (KRCR)


A total of six people were shot including one fatality at a house party near Chico State in the wee hours of Saturday.  The dead person was a 17-year old girl.  The shooting took place on Columbus Ave less than a mile off campus.

The other victims were another 17-year old girl and three young men.

There was a shootings at one other house party the same night but nobody was wounded by gunfire, though a few people got owies from fights.  In addition there was a fight at the sight of the fatal shooting about 2 1/2 hours earlier than the shooting.  

The earlier shooting, also on Columbus, resulted in the arrest of one shithead for brandishing a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. 

Clearly house parties should be banned in the interest of public safety.
