An update on the shooter and the officers and bystander who were shot.

"Dyer identified the gunman as Joel Perales, a 22-year-old security guard from Fresno. Perales was shot and killed by officers after a pursuit through Fresno streets that ended when his car was rammed by an officer at Dakota Avenue and Angus Street."

In the 60's and 70's Fresno hosted the West Coast Relays. A lot of fans from Oakland would come to Fresno to celebrate. Violence increased, and hotel and motel rooms were trashed. The relays were a good thing, the "fans" were not.

"With Tuesday's violence, six Fresno police officers have been shot since July -- the same number wounded by gunfire in the previous two decades."
