Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Man Shot, Hospitalized With Life-Threatening Injuries In SF: Police (patch.com) — San Francisco residents in the Portola neighborhood are being urged to share any information they have after a man in his 20s was shot near San Bruno Avenue and Bacon Street early Monday morning and hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Police have not announced any arrests or suspect details, and are asking tipsters to call the SFPD tip line or text TIP411 to assist the investigation.
2. KQED To Settle Wage-Theft Class Action Lawsuit (patch.com) — San Franciscans who follow KQED should know the station has agreed to pay about $895,000 to settle a wage-theft class action involving more than 580 hourly employees, with preliminary approval already granted by San Francisco Superior Court. While KQED denies the allegations, affected workers across the Bay Area could receive payments based on hours worked, and a final approval hearing is set for November 4.
3. 100-Degree Heat Expected During Intense NorCal Heatwave (patch.com) — San Francisco residents are facing a sharp midweek heat spike, with city temperatures climbing into the upper 70s and nearby coastal areas potentially reaching the low 90s. A National Weather Service heat advisory runs from Wednesday morning through Thursday night, and minor tidal flooding is possible near the San Francisco shoreline around high tide. Locals are urged to stay hydrated, avoid peak sun, and check on vulnerable neighbors and pets.
4. Pit Bull Mix Attacks Woman On Busy San Francisco Street: Report (patch.com) — People in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood saw a frightening scene Tuesday morning when a woman suffered serious injuries in a reported pit bull mix attack on Larkin Street. Fire crews and animal control responded, and officials later confirmed they had the dog's remains. Authorities are still investigating what led up to the attack, leaving nearby residents looking for answers and reassurance.
5. S.F. Mayor Lurie agrees to give 12% raises and prevent layoffs for huge share of city workers (fresnobee.com) — San Francisco's largest city-worker unions have tentatively secured 12% raises over four years and a no-layoff guarantee through June 2029, covering about 25,000 employees and stabilizing key services residents rely on. The early deal, still needing member approval, offers budget predictability as Mayor Daniel Lurie faces big deficits and federal funding pressures while trying to keep the city's recovery on track.
