California IN BRIEF : FRESNO : 4 Plead Innocent in Crime Rampage

Four Fresno youth gang members pleaded innocent to murder and 17 other crimes in connection with a violent Labor Day weekend shooting rampage that killed one man and injured nine people. A Juvenile Court referee said he will decide Oct. 2 if two of the gang members, both 16 years old, should be tried as adults. The other two boys, ages 15 and 14, will face charges in Juvenile Court. The names of the suspects have not been released. They were captured on Labor Day and accused of rampaging through Fresno for four hours, shooting randomly at people on the street, after a plan to fire at other gang members was foiled by police. Two of the victims remain hospitalized with serious injuries.
