Rooftop Sniper In San Francisco Wounds Two Men San Francisco - HJPD - A rooftop sniper, armed with an automatic rifle and an extra box of shells, had the gun shot out of his hands by a sharp-shooting policeman af ter he had wounded two men yesterday. , The sniper, Antonio Gutier rez, 22, told police he had been "taken" by a girl he met in a bar. Yesterday morning he went to the roof of a build ing across the street from where he said she lived and began firing the '.22 caliber automatic rifle. Joseph Starks, 39, a pass erby, was dropped with a su perficial forehead wound from the sniper's bullets. Thirty police rushed to the area and surrounded the building. An emergency hos pital steward, John Cozzens, 26, went to Starks' aid. Gu tierrez opened fire on him and critically wounded him in the chest. As police cautiously closed in on the sniper, officer George Roscoe fired a well aimed shot from his .38 cali ber pistol at a distance of 100 feet. It shattered the scope on Gutierrez' rifle and knocked the weapon from his hands. Police had exchanged about 40 shots with the sniper. Gutierrez identified himself as a housepainter. He said he picked up a girl in a bar Fri day night and "she took me for $10" in the house against which he had set up his roof top siege. At police head quarters he went berserk, threatening a news photogra pher, and was locked m a padded cell. Police arrested Jean Evans, 24, on a morals charge. She was identified as the girl who allegedly aroused Gutierrez wrath. egg has landed in the general fund basket. "Park and shop" represents an attempt by the downtown merchants and professional men to solve the problem for themselves. It was inspired by William Barr of the National Parking association, who spoke here last February. The program is being sup ervised by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. But its financial base rests upon the 49 participants, and upon the parking lot owners. Four Lots Ready The four lots ready for op eration tomorrow have been used for parking previously They include H. S. Deuel's lot next to Valley Fuel company, on Main st. at the railroad tracks; Chuck Risse's lot at Ninth st. and South Central ave.; Alabam's parking lot on Main st. just east of the tracks, owned by S. L. Moore; and Fred Robinson's lot at 19-21 South Front t. Robinson, city councilman and co-proprietor of Robinson Brothers clothing store, 114 East Main st., is also develop ing the other three lots to be opened soon. The one that that may be ready this week is next to the Craterian theatre, on East Eight st. between South Cen tral ave. and South Bartlett st. The others are to be at 29 South Bartlett st., formerly Daily's body shop, and at 135 North Central ave., next to the Yellow Cab company. What It Offers Basically, "park and shop" offers the motorist a chance for free parking, and the mer chant and lot operator a chance for more business. The parking becomes free for the motorist only as he or she patronizes the participat ing businesses. It works this way. The mot orist drives into one of the lots and receives a ticket. If he makes a minimum pur chase or other transaction from one of the "park and shop" participants, he receives a stamp. The stamp, affixed to the ticket, is good for one hour's free parking. Another stamp, from another business, is worth another hour. -J Suggested Minimum The chamber of commerce has sugrested that a $2 min imum be set for the issuance of a stamp. But individual businessmen may set their own minimum purchase or transaction. . The motorist returns to the parking lot, and turns in the ticket to the operator. If the number of stamps is sufficient to cover the parking time, he is charged nothing. If not, he pays the differ ence to the lot operator, at a rate of 10 cents per half hour. In other words, each stamp being good for an hour's parking-represents a 20-cent saving to the motorist. The lot operator collects the ticket with its stamps from the motorist, and then can re deem the stamps at the Cham ber of Commerce for cash. The businessmen, for their Mother Saves Tot from Well Bothell, Wash.-flJPD-Bradley Moreland, 3, of Miamisburg, Ohio, was saved from death in a little-used well near . nere Friday when his mother, Gloria Moreland, climbed into the well and held him above water until firemen arrived.
