In the social media comments I’ve read about this incident demanding info, not one has asked how the victim is doing.

It is SHAMEFUL that those of us in the surrounding area had to wait almost seven hours for any type of update from Menlo PD. They forget who they are accountable to. There was also such a severe delay in the time the gunshots could be heard and the notification went out via text, almost an hour, where is the benefit in that??? City council needs to keep PD on alert that our community has a right to know what is going on, when it happens, to protect ourselves, a failure of the system for certain.

BETSY POOLE: ARE YOU RELATED TO ARTHUR, GORDON AND WARREN POOLE? WHEN MY DAD ATTENDED STANFORD IN THE LATE 1930s, HE RENTED A ROOM IN THE CAMPUS HOME OF MR. AND MRS. ARTHUR POOLE.

Good luck trying to shame the cops, Betsy.

Betsy,

I would guess that the police were busy investigating and working the crime, and probably did not have a lot of information to update people with. For what it is worth people in my neighborhood hear gunshots on a regular basis, mostly from the east side of 101, and we never got notified about them.
