San Francisco: No charges against guard in fatal shooting at Walgreens

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:56:24 GMT

A security guard who allegedly shot and killed a young man at a San Francisco Walgreens store last week won’t face charges related to the case, according to prosecutors. Police had arrested the 33-year-old guard after the shooting, at 6:33 p.m. Thursday near Market and Fourth streets. Banko Brown, 24, was found on the sidewalk and was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries. On Monday, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said evidence reviewed by her office “clearly shows that the suspect believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense.” “We reviewed witness statements, statements from the suspect, and video footage of the incident, and it does not meet the People’s burden to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury that the suspect is guilty of a crime,” Jenkins said in an emailed statement Monday night.The police have not released any details of the encounter other than to say it apparently inv...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:56:24 GMT

Unbridled optimism is an essential quality for Bay Area entrepreneurs. For its bankers, not so much.That’s the hard lesson from the collapse of two of the Bay Area’s premier regional banking institutions: San Francisco’s First Republic Bank and Santa Clara’s Silicon Valley Bank.Congress and the Federal Reserve have a lot to answer for whiffing on their oversight and regulatory duties. But the reckless practices of the managers of the two banks were at the root of the problem and should serve as warnings for other regional bank managers striving to avoid future collapses.It’s clear that both managers were overly optimistic that interest rates would remain low, protecting their long-range investments.For First Republic, it was heavy bets in commercial real estate market, which was upended by the pandemic. For Silicon Valley Bank, it was overinvestment in Treasury bonds, leaving it vulnerable to rising interest rates during the tech slowdown, and overrelia...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:56:24 GMT

Across social media platforms, teachers have shared their excitement at AI’s potential to transform their work. The promise of tim...
