Man shot, 7-Eleven ransacked during destructive Vallejo sideshow

My 7-Eleven is closed after shooting & looting I just heard from my sister last night that there was an incident that took place at the 7-Eleven nearest my parents' house at the corner of Springs Rd and Rollingwood Dr. That's the 7-Eleven I've gone to the most in the past three years, and I guess, since we moved to Vallejo. It's a mile from my parents' house, but walking distance from my old junior high school (Springstowne) and senior high school (Hogan). It's also the corner where I got my first ever ticket when I was 17 years old; the cop pulled me over in front of the 7-Eleven for running a red light. I'd been meaning to buy a second karambit. I was just undecided on the style, whether I get the same exact one I already have or a different one. I'll order it today. Be safe, peeps. Do what you gotta do.

On Sunday, July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Spain beat Argentina 1-0 to win the FIFA World Cup. For ninety-eight minutes, nobody scored.
