1. 1 Dead, 1 Hospitalized In Shooting Near San Ramon: Sheriff (patch.com) — Residents near San Ramon are reeling after a deadly shooting at a home on Bollinger Canyon Road in unincorporated San Ramon left one person dead and another hospitalized with a gunshot wound. Contra Costa County sheriff's officials say there is no ongoing threat to the community as detectives and crime lab personnel investigate, and they do not believe a separate Pleasanton murder-suicide is connected.
