The Bee’s coverage on Tuesday included topics such as a reported shooting at two walkers in a north Fresno neighborhood, a well-known local restaurant reopening after repairing fire damage and a major landlord doubling down against city code enforcement efforts.

Here are the top stories:

• Two walking in north Fresno neighborhood report being shot at, police say: Fresno police responded to reports of shots fired near San Pablo and Herndon avenues around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. Two people walking in the neighborhood told officers they believed they were being shot at. No injuries were reported, and no homes or vehicles were struck.
• After long closure caused by fire, this Fresno restaurant is finally reopen: Yosemite Falls Cafe at Blackstone and Shaw avenues reopened at 7 a.m. Sunday after a 10-month closure due to fire damage. The fire started in August when an employee tried to relight a pilot light under a fryer, sending flames bursting out; all workers escaped unhurt. Owner Manny Perales said much of the kitchen had to be rebuilt, including 32 feet of ducting.
• Amid litigation, JD Home Rentals says it’s scapegoat for Fresno’s own housing failures: Landlord company JD Home Rentals is pushing back against the City of Fresno, with owner Bryce Hovannisian saying the company has become a scapegoat for the city’s housing failures. JD has sued the city at least eight times this year, accusing code enforcement officers of unlawful inspections and broken promises on violation deadlines.
