<p>holy s**t, I live in Berkeley.... Downtown Berkeley (near UCB) is a pretty shady area as well so I am not surprised.</p>

<p>I don't think I'll be leaving campus then..</p>

<p>Man.. That's brutal.. I'm sorry.. :(</p>

<p>I wonder what the argument was about..</p>

8

<p>Maybe it started over someone stepping over somebody's brand new sneakers.
Anybody remember that skit from Chappelle Show about the start of the gang war.</p>

<p>It's very sad to hear this, especially after I just had a close friend pass away at Berkeley. For her though, she wasn't involved in any altercations. In her case, they think she had a seizure in her sleep. She was also very stressed out since this was her first semester at Cal and finals were coming up. </p>

<p>Word of advice to EVERYONE headed for their 1st semester @ a UC: balance your studies with a social life. My friend was studying pretty much all the time and didn't take her social life into account. I just wish I had gone up to visit her sooner. I kept telling her over the phone and email to go out every once in a while, but she was very stubborn and was way too concerned about her studying. She was doing fairly well, getting B+'s on her papers and tests, but she was really pushing herself for A's. So, don't get too hung up about your grades.</p>

<p>Still, this case is just a reminder that violence can really occur on any college campus, so just be careful.</p>

<p>Yeah a good friend of mine is up there and it happened right outside of her apt.
I called her after I got in to tell her the good news but she hung up on me because she was talking to the police at the time...</p>

<p>She is in Chi Omega and heard the whole thing happen...</p>

<p>You should ask her what happened.</p>
