Police suspect the younger Browning is linked to a gang-related shooting last July near Villa Parke after a rash of violence between African-American and Latino gangs. The Police Department had already obtained an arrest warrant for Browning in September on suspicion of shooting a 16-year-old youth in the body. Browning's father, who once based his criminal operation in an Altadena mansion, was sentenced in the 1980s to two life terms plus 140 years for his role as the mastermind of a massive drug-dealing ring. On Thursday, police responded to reports of shots fired in the 1700 block of Casa Grande Casa Grande (kä`sä grän`dā), city (1990 pop. 19,082), Pinal co., S Ariz.; inc. 1915. It lies in an irrigated farm area near the Casa Grande Mts. Street about 8:30 a.m. Police believe Browning opened fire on five people standing on a front lawn, then ran away, disappearing into the surrounding neighborhood. No one was injured. About 70 police officers cordoned off the neighborhood - bounded by Allen Avenue, Casa Grande Street, Hill Avenue and Mountain Street - then searched for Browning yard by yard. Four helicopters hovered above. The search extended through much of the day while parents picked up their children from Marshall Fundamental after classes were locked down because of the shooting. ``It's laborious, tedious and filled with anxiety,'' said Sgt.

A silver bicycle was retrieved from behind a home west of the shooting, but police were unsure whether the gunman peddled to the scene. After searching for nearly six hours, police dogs sniffed out the gunman hiding in a crawl space beneath a home in the 1600 block of Mountain Street. Pederson said officers at the scene fired three shots at Browning, all of which missed him. A police dog attacked Browning, causing unknown wounds. Residents say the neighborhood near Marshall School is usually quiet. ``It's a really good neighborhood except for one house where a bunch of creepy creep·y adj. creep·i·er, creep·i·est Informal 1.

Tina House, 35, who is renovating a house across the street from where police found Browning, was distraught Thursday morning after her 75-year-old father, who was in the vicinity of the shooting, did not answer her calls to his cellular phone. House, who plans to move into the Mountain Street home today, said the shooting was probably a fluke fluke, parasitic flatworm of the trematoda class, related to the tapeworm.
