The latest incident occurred downtown over the weekend when one man allegedly beat one victim with a 2×4, hit another over the head with a wine bottle and struck and sexually assaulted a woman.
. One victim is dead, three others were hospitalized. On Monday, San Diego police elaborated on the random aspect to the shootings.
“Does it feel like we’ve seen a rash of violence lately?” San Diego Police spokesman Lt. Adam Sharki wondered aloud."Yeah, it certainly does."“Your police officers are experiencing this too,” Sharki said. “I think that’s important to remember.” It’s a lot of violence in a short period of time, but putting it into perspective, said SANDAG'S principal criminal justice researcher, Octavio Rodriguez, San Diego is still a much safer place to live than most of the country.Rodriguez said violent crime in San Diego rose in the first half of last year compared with the year before. But it’s not rising in the county as much as it is in the rest of the nation.While crime rates are far below the surge seen in '90s, Rodriguez said.
This increase in violent crime comes at an especially challenging time for San Diego police. Like departments across the country, it is short-staffed.
