Teen killed and three injured in shooting during Halloween party at California city councillor’s home


Police say gunfire erupted at the home of Gilroy City Council Member Rebeca Armendariz just before 1am on Saturday

One person was killed and three others injured when gunfire erupted during a Halloween party at the home of a California city councillor.

Police responded to reports of a shooting at Gilroy City Council Member Rebeca Armendariz’s home just before 1am on Saturday.

“When officers arrived on the scene, they encountered a large outdoor party at the residence,” the Gilroy Police Department said in a statement.

“Officers learned that an altercation occurred just prior to their arrival, and at least one suspect fired a gun.”

The person killed was identified by the Santa Clara County Coroner’s office as 18-year-old Michael Daniel Zuniga-Macias.

Two injured victims remained hospitalised as of Monday and a third was treated and discharged. All three were between 17 and 19 years old, police said. Their names have not been released.

Police identified at least two shooting suspects, according to the news release. One of them, 19-year-old Benjamin David Calderon, was arrested and charged with homicide, according to NBC Bay Area.

Investigators discovered two firearms at the scene but have yet to determine whether either was used in the shooting. The investigation is active and ongoing.

It is unclear what relation, if any, the victims or suspects had to Ms Armendariz, who released a statement about the shooting on Saturday.

“Because this remains an active investigation, I am unable to share more at this time but I would like to thank all of the members of the community who have reached out to express their concerns for their patience,” the councillor said.

“I am thankful that my family and I, who live on Las Animas, were not hurt in this tragedy, and I pray for those whose loved ones have been touched by what has occurred. In the meantime, we are giving our full cooperation to the Gilroy Police Department in this investigation.”

The truth about nitrates and nitrites

Image
Any of us know that we should steer away from processed meats and eat more vegetables if we want to be healthier and lower our chances of developing certain types of cancers.  While there are many reasons processed meats aren’t great for our health, one reason is because they contain chemicals called nitrates and nitrites. But processed meats aren’t the only foods that contain these chemicals. In fact, many vegetables also contain high amounts – mainly nitrates. And  https://silcontrolpills.tumblr.com/post/668077323121295360/%E0%B8%A3-%E0%B8%A7-%E0%B8%A7-silcontrol yet research suggests that eating vegetables lowers – not raises – cancer risk. So how can nitrates and nitrites be harmful when added to meat but healthy in vegetables? The answer lies in how nitrates and nitrites get converted into other molecules. Nitrates and nitrites are attached to sodium or potassium, and belong to a family of chemically related molecules that also includes the gas nitric oxide.  https://silcontrolre

Antibiotic-resistant infections ‘set to rise after Covid pandemic’ amid warning of ‘hidden pandemic’

Image
Covid measures played a part in bringing down antibiotic resistance last year but opening up could cause renewed surge in infections. Resistance to antibiotics is likely to rise after the pandemic and could push the UK into “another crisis”, according to health experts. The spread of antibiotic resistance is a world-wide problem and is expected to cause millions of deaths this decade. A joint report published in 2019 by the United Nations and the World Health Organisation said that drug-resistant diseases could cause 10 million deaths each year by 2050 and force up to 24 million people into extreme poverty by 2030 if no action is taken. New data from the UK Health Security Agency shows one in five people with a bloodstream infection had one that was resistant to antibiotics. Resistance can cause serious complications as infections become extremely hard to treat and leads in some cases to hospital admissions and death. Due to increased social distancing and personal hygiene, government
