Stabbing

Reader Ryan P. reports:

Just came home to find 19th between Guerrero and Dolores completely shut down, as well as most of that segment of 18th. Ambulances, fire trucks and cop cars lined the street in front of Bi-Rite, with some kid on a stretcher with an oxygen mask. I talked to some girl who, choking back sobs, managed to tell me that someone got stabbed. I tried to console her but she was pretty traumatized. I walked up to some cops and was berated by one of them, but the other said they were dealing with a stabbing, and to go inside. It looks like it occurred on Oakwood, connecting 18th and 19th, right next to the Bi-Rite market.

    Well, if something happened closer to Bi-Rite, then there were multiple locations, because 19th was what looked like all the action.

    I live on Oakwood and leaving our place to go to dinner last nite, we went through the police tape on 19th to get out towards Valencia and one of the uniformed guys near us said to another one, “Can you back it up? There’s a ton of blood on the street over there,” pointing down 19th towards the park. Or something like that — don’t recall his exact words.

    Highly unlikley that these are productive, educated people. The real tragedy is the amount of tax money that will be poured into keeping them alive in the hospital.

    I lived here for years, on Oakwood. It’s a lovely neighborhood with great people and family’s. What if one of the residents got stabbed..we don’t know. What an awful statement to make………
