Halloween in Chico

Halloween hit on a Saturday this year and gave be a long weekend to look forward to. After a much needed rest, I am able to show what went on this weekend. Students at Chico State had a more or less a four day weekend on Halloween because most students don't have classes on Friday's and the University decided to make the following Monday a furlough day. This meant the students had four days of Halloween bliss...if they could make it that long. Friday's night activities were normal, but Saturday night, things heated up. A shooting, fights and other incidents kept Chico Police quite busy. Here is a selection of all the activity.
