A 20-year-old man was shot in the arm during what police describe as a "fight between two groups" around 1:30am Sunday morning. It's the latest in a series of violent incidents at Haight & Stanyan.

A man was found dead in a parked car on Lincoln; a day earlier, a man was shot in the stomach in Golden Gate Park.

At his own expense, Officer Ryan Crockett distributes socks, blankets, and water as a holiday gift to people who sleep outdoors.

District crime stats, an update on quality-of-life issues, a report from an undercover officer, and an overview of investigative operations were all on the docket.
