Firefighters gear up fast for coming fire season

GILROY—Firefighters from the mountains to the flatlands of Santa Clara County are gearing up for what some predictions say could be a particularly nasty fire season, driven by water shortages, tinder-like wild lands and Red Flag conditions—those perfect storms of ingredients that cause raging wildfires.

Police looking for ‘armed and dangerous’ drive-by shooting suspects

Police are looking for three suspects who allegedly shot at two men — injuring one — while driving west on Spring Avenue the night of June 20.Authorities think the shooting, which followed a verbal argument between two groups of men, was gang-related. The suspects “should be considered armed and dangerous,” according to a June 24 press release from MHPD.  Morgan Hill police responded to the area of Spring Avenue and Monterey Road about 11:14 p.m.  June 20 to investigate a report of shots fired, according to the press release.As officers arrived they found two victims, including a 25-year-old Gilroy man who suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso and arm, police said. The second victim, a 29-year-old Morgan Hill man, was not injured. Officers provided the Gilroy man with first aid until fire and paramedics arrived, according to authorities. The man was later transported to a local trauma center for emergency surgery and continued care. He remains in “serious but stable” condition and is expected to survive. During the investigation officers learned an argument began between the victims and another group of males just behind Mr. Hong’s Chinese restaurant, 16745 Monterey Road near the intersection of Spring Avenue, police said. The two victims attempted to walk away from the altercation, but the two male suspects continued to taunt and yell at them. As the victims were walking westbound on Spring Avenue, the two male suspects entered a gray four-door sedan which was driven by a Hispanic female, police said. The young woman drove the vehicle westbound on Spring Avenue, and stopped abruptly near the victims. At that point multiple gunshots were seen and heard coming from inside the vehicle, police said. All three suspects fled the scene and were last seen in the area of Spring and Del Monte avenues, according to the press release. The suspects were later identified as Francisco Diaz, 22, Nicolas Young, 21, and Deja Marie Ayala, 21, police said. All three suspects are from Gilroy. Police identified the suspects through previous “police contacts in Gilroy and Morgan Hill” and video surveillance of the area where the June 20 shooting occurred, according to Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Carson Thomas. The suspects are still on the run and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. Anyone with information about this incident can contact Morgan Hill police at (408) 779-2101 or the anonymous tip line at (408) 947-7867.
