[LA MESA, Tues Sept 8, 11:45 a.m.] Wild one at 9340 Fuerte Dr. A car rolled out of the Brigantine parking lot, went over the edge, down a steep embankment, and hit the lower east end of the very same building - ending up nose-down on its side. 😳
The driver, around 80, couldn’t get out. Heartland crews from E11, E13, USAR 12 and Truck 14 braced the car so it wouldn’t move, then cut the sunroof open to pull him out. Minor injuries, off to the hospital.
Someone inside the building said they felt the whole place shake. Driver told LMPD he was squeezing into a tight spot when the car suddenly surged forward.

[La MESA, Tues Sept 1, 4:40 p.m.] A man, a woman and a small dog got a ride down from the roof of the old Claim Jumper at Grossmont Center this afternoon - courtesy of La Mesa Fire Truck 11. 🚒

Police got a call late in the afternoon that someone was inside the empty restaurant, possibly stripping copper. When officers cleared the building, the suspects had gone up. At 4:40 LMPD called for the ladder truck. Two firefighters and two cops rode the basket to the roof, found the pair and their dog, and told them to lie down. They did.

Both were brought down one at a time in the basket and are headed to jail on burglary charges.

The Claim Jumper closed in Sept 2024. The chain that had 45 restaurants in 2010 is down to four.

[TERALTA EAST, Fri Aug 21, 11 p.m.]

🚨 SDPD and SDFD responded to a shooting on Chamoune Ave late Friday - a 32-year-old man took a bullet to the hip and was transported. A 42-year-old woman was also taken from the scene, though it’s not yet clear why. Police tracked down a suspect a few blocks away near 48th St, who ran into a laundry room of another complex and was taken into custody. SDPD’s watch commander’s office has since confirmed that’s the shooter — no gun has been recovered yet.

This is also the second violent incident in Mid-City today — earlier, a man was fatally stabbed on 39th St in the Corridor, and his partner was booked on a murder charge. No link between the two, but it’s been a rough day for the area.
