RIVERSIDE: Seven people are injured in four shootings in a two-day period last weekend.

RIVERSIDE - When four shootings occurred in 48 hours last weekend, even the police were surprised.
The shootings were not connected, but they may all be gang-related, said Riverside police Sgt. Frank Assumma.
Six people were shot, but no one was killed, police said. A 9-year-old bystander was slightly injured in one incident. The shootings are being investigated as attempted homicides.
"We don't usually see this much violence in as many different areas as we are now," Assumma said
Assumma said police linked the shootings to gangs based on where they happened and other factors that he would not elaborate on.
He and Officer Phil Fernandez summarized the weekend violence:
About 8 p.m. June 4, a 23-year-old man was walking on Linden Street near Douglas Avenue when he heard shots. He took off running, but a bullet struck his right heel. A 9-year-old girl standing nearby was struck by debris from the gunshots, but received only minor scrapes.
Shortly after midnight Sunday, a man was in the McDonald's parking lot on University Avenue when three men in a 2000 Chrysler confronted him. One of the men asked where he was from. Someone in the car started shooting and the victim was hit once.
At about 7:45 p.m. Sunday, a group of teenagers was sitting on a bench in Villegas Park when a man approached them and fired six to eight shots. A 15-year-old boy was hit in the head, and a 17-year-old boy was hit in the torso and arm. Both are expected to recover.
Later, at about 9:15 p.m., a group of men was playing basketball on Haskell Street near Shawnee Avenue in Casa Blanca when another man approached them and fired five to six shots. A 25-year-old man was hit in the leg, and a 21-year-old man was hit in the torso and right knee.
Incidents involving gangs are difficult to investigate because victims and witnesses are reluctant to talk, Assumma said.
Assumma said the gang picture in Riverside is complicated. Not only are there "indigenous gangs," but there is an influx of big LA gangs across the city.
Overall, gang violence in Riverside has declined, he said. "When I got here, back in 1991, it was just horrendous."
Police ask that anyone with information about the shootings contact the investigations division at (951) 320-8000.

Yea but 1200 Blocc is pretty weak right now. It's been heating up on the eastside,,but it's nothing like the late 80's early 90's. 1200 Blocc claims East Coast Blocc Crip,,they don't claim Inland Empire because they don't get along with any hood from the I.E. When 1200 Blocc came up in the mid 1980's,,they had a connection with ECC,,but all 1200 Blocc's are from Riverside.
