In case you missed it

BPD let us know they determined that this week's gunfire actually took place on New Year's Eve — not Jan. 1.

The non-injury shooting at 11:30 p.m. or so was reported more than 2 hours later. We've updated our story and our gunfire maps.

Also: The name of the woman who was detained has not been released yet, but we'll update our story when it is public.

Don’t forget to park 20 feet from crosswalks starting Jan. 1

Parking too close to a crosswalk will soon risk a $64 ticket — even if there’s no red curb. There’s a grace period until April 1.
