GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.-Mesa County Sheriff Officials say at 4:02 p.m. Saturday dispatch received a call reporting a stabbing near connected lakes at Dike Rd and D 3/4 Rd.

Officials say this started out as an assault.

Two males were transported to the hospital, one suffering from knife injuries, while the other male was suffering from assault injuries.

Officials say the incident started in the city, and moved to county land which is why the Grand Junction Police Department was there along with the Mesa County Sheriff's Office and the Grand Junction Fire Department.

Mesa County Animal Services later arrived on scene and took away three dogs.

The incident is under investigation.

Hey Courtney FYI....its "Dike" not "Dite" and one is "on" a stretcher not "in" a stretcher. Once again another violent crime by the homeless, yet we praise the City & County for helping them at tax payer dollars expense.

To "Just Say-In"... First, violent crime is far from being isolated to the homeless...so what is you point?... Second what has the City and County got to do with any of this rather tax payer dollars are involved or not? Again...what is your point?

What the heck Just Say- In. Am I lost in this News or what. I don't know what your talking about from just reading this News. Maybe you know something we don't know. Love to hear what you have to say.

Violence amongst homeless has increased dramaticly in the last 18-24 months, seek the info out; assaults like this, homicides, etc. These crimes cost dollars to investigate, prosecute and then the Police try and maintain some sort of civilization amongst theswe folks that don't believe in being civil, ask them most will tell you they like living this way. And yet we allow them to establish large, dumps as homesteads along our riverbanks and in the trees on private property and they claim rights to do so. We spend lots and lots of money cleaning up their messes and policing them but we never do whats right - MOVE THEM OUT OF THE AREA! Get rid of these folks and the money spent on their crimes and cleaning up after them is saved, we are talking about tens of thousands. Money given them for medical expenses, food, water, shelter (like tents), public transportation fares, all just handed to them from the cofers of the City & County.

The homeless problem in Grand Junction is a huge problem. The city needs to do something. Why can't we do what slot of places do, and buy then bus tickets to leave.

I find it very interesting that no one commenting has mentioned jobs, prosperity, or a healthy economy as possible solutions........

i would like to know with all the homeless people that have homeless dogs, do the dogs have their current shots and current tags? if not is the county doing anything to enforce this?

Upset said on Monday, Feb 11 at 4:23 PM

That is a possible solution Disgusted, but something most people don't realize is most of these people choose to live this way.
