Beating Victim Expected to Recover
We'd love to hear it officially*, but word on the street (and from a couple of sources) is that the two guys who robbed and beat a resident on West 10th Street have been caught and copped to the crime.
Our original correspondent tells us that the victim has stabilized and is expected to recover, which is good news if true. We wish him well. The authorities say that this is the most violent crime to have occurred in Claremont in a long time, with "an amazing amount of spilled blood".
A bit later...
We see that a real reporter has taken up this story. Read the best and most complete set of details on Claremont Courier reporter Tony Krickl's Courier City Beat blog. He reports that 3 men were arrested by the Claremont PD, and that the victim's name was Vince Gottuso.
*Nothing on the Claremont PD website as of 5 p.m. Thursday; maybe City Manager Jeff Parker plans to take credit for it in his City Manager's Update tomorrow.
