“Dear PoPville,
Good morning, this is to thank everyone that help me last night (Saturday), specially the homeless guy that sells the newspaper in front of Safeway, a crazy shoplifter was leaving and I was in his way, he punched, kicked and hit my head against the glass, I was bleeding but I manage to call 911. I wish I could thank each in person, Thank you.”

A reader reported around 4:30pm Saturday: “3-5 gunshots outside king street oyster bar (NoMa)”
Ed. Note: I didn’t see any police reports of a shooting so it’s possible, fortunately, nobody was hit/injured. Updates if/when more is known.
Thanks to Stephen for sending from Grant Circle around 7:45am.
Update: “this is my daughter’s car, she got assaulted and robbed leaving her job early this morning. We are desperate trying to gather as much information, witnesses, doorbell camera footage.”
Anyone with info or camera footage can email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP.

Thanks to Jackelyn and all who passed on this incredibly sad GoFundMe for the family of Nasrat Ahmad Yar.
“Dear PoPville,
I am involved with the family of Nasrat Yar, the Afghan military interpreter recently murdered while driving for Lyft. We are also hoping to have people attend the funeral, as the family is without friends or family of their own here.”
