Campus crime rate

M.any area crimes
committed by
teens
By Dlpan Mann
StaffWriter
As crime increases in specific
areas of Fresno, the overall crime
rate in and around California State
University, Fresno seems to do the
same. V
As lesser criminals such as
vending machine thieves continue
. to strike successfully time after
time, attention is diverted from
more serious crimes around cam¬
pus, f
A contribution to the recent in-
creasc in crime took place at 4 a.m.
Sept,. 26 at the Taco Bell on Cedar
avenue, just across from CSUF.
According to a Taco Bell em¬
ployee who did not want to be
identified, the dining room had
been closed for the night, but the
fast food restaurant's 24-hour
drive-through service was open.
"Some-girls were waiting for
their order, when three boys, prob¬
ably in their teens, carrying beer.
came up and started passing rude
remarks against the ladies, caus¬
ing them to get quite irritated," the
employee said.
"The giris finally lost their pa¬
tience when the boys smashed a
beer bottle against the wall, caus¬
ing some of it to splash on their
car," he said.
The employee said the girls in
the car "decided to give the boys a
piece of their mind."
One of the boys then pulled a
gun from beneath his shirt and
fired several shots into the unoc¬
cupied Taco Bell dining area, the
employee said.
"After terrify ing a lot of people,
the boys simply left without a word,
disappearing into an alley next to
the Bulldog Apartments," he said.
"There was no car, no one waiting
for the boys to help them make
their get-away. Their boldness was
amazing."
Incidents like this are becom¬
ing more common these days and
more often than not, the perpetra¬
tors are no more than 15- to 16-
years old.
"This is what' s most shocking,"
the employee said. "These people
are certainly not college-going stu¬
dents pursuing a career. These are
high school dropouts, misguided
youth who have lost track of their
aims, people who can't prove
themselves to their peers with other
achievements."
Is this what we are making of
our future? Guns, killings, bomb
blasts shootings. The list goes on.
John Summers, whose name
was changed because be also did
not wish to be identified, has been
in Fresno for more than 20 years
' and said, "Fresno used to be really
different. Shootings and murders
were rarely heard of.
« "Things havechanged," he said.
"These days, hafoTyatlay goes by
when one does not hear about a
shooting or a homicide. Society
has real 1 y become violent and there
is no o.ne to blame except our¬
selves." /. \
