Hollister police are looking for suspects involved in a report of exchanged gunfire Sunday afternoon and have arrested a 25-year-old man who may have been linked, according to a police captain.

A man was injured around 11:30 a.m. Monday when he tried stopping a truck from rolling down the hilly North Street in Hollister before the vehicle knocked over a telephone pole and ultimately rested against part of the Ranchers Feed building. 

Last week, Calfire celebrated the retirement of their veteran pilot Russ Looney by surprising him with a traditional water salute. With a fire truck on each side, the department formed an archway of water over the taxiway as Looney took the plane in for a landing.

The funeral service for Andrel Gaines, the 19-year-old Gavilan College basketball who died from injuries suffered in a Nov. 6 car accident, is scheduled for at 11 a.m. Dec. 3 in the gymnasium on Gavilan's campus, athletic director Ron Hannon told the Gilroy Dispatch on Wednesday.

Hollister police on Monday morning arrested a man suspected of stealing copper wire from the Pacific Gas & Electric facility in Seventh Street.

Gavilan College basketball player Billy Heard - Andrel Gaines' teammate - who was driving the car when back-to-back car wrecks sent six people to the hospital, was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accidents, according to a toxicology report obtained Monday by the Gilroy Dispatch.
