SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL Monday, March 24, 2003 Bullets fly on Bixby Street By RAMONA TURNER SENTINEL STAFF WRITER SANTA CRUZ- Three people taken to Santa Cruz police headquarters for questioning after a shooting Sunday evening were released later that night. Neighbors said two quick shots rang out at 123. Bixby Street around 7 p.m. Police reported it appeared someone in apartment No. 5 fired a rifle into another apartment complex across the street.
Cruz Barajas was walking home when he learned one of the bullets smashed into his apartment. He said he knew the person suspected to have fired the shots. "He's my neighbor," he said. "We talk all the time. I hope it was an It was unknown late Sunday what sparked the shooting.
The police were investigating late Sunday. Fernando Castillo was at work when 1 his wife called him, saying a bullet pierced the wall of their apart- ment. No one was hurt, but there were some frayed nerves. Police officers cordoned off Bixby between Barson Street and San Lorenzo Boulevard. People at home were told to stay inside.
Police told those trying to return home to find somewhere else to go. That was painful for Castillo. He was stuck outside, while his wife and two children, ages 2 and 5, were trapped in their home. He kept in touch with his family by cell phone. Castillo, Barajas and their neighbors were allowed to return home by 9 p.m.
Once plagued by gang violence, Bixby Street is a community that has seen a decrease in violence over the years, neighbors said. Community and police efforts, such as the department's Neighborhood Watch program, have helped squelch the violence. Sunday's standoff was the first shooting residents had seen in three years, when three people were shot dead. Legendary KGB spyhunter dies By JAMES RISEN THE NEW YORK TIMES Rem Krassilnikov, a legendary figure within the KGB who was in charge of the investigations and arrests of the American spies betrayed by Aldrich H. Ames, Robert P.
Hanssen and other moles in the final years of the Cold War, died in Moscow last week. He was 76. Krassilnikov, who had been a major general in the KGB, was virtually unknown outside the Soviet intelligence service but wielded broad power within it. During the critical years of the mid- and late 1980s, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was chief of the First Department within the KGB's Second Chief Directorate, which placed him in charge of investigating and disrupting CIA operations in Moscow. CIA officers eventually came to recognize the quiet, white-haired general as one of their main intelligence adversaries.
Within the KGB, Krassilnikov earned the nickname "the professor of counterintelligence," and some American intelligence officers who went up against him saw him as the real-life embodiment of "Karla," the mysterious Soviet spymaster in the novels of John le Carre. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the demise of communism in Russia, Krassilnikov remained proud of the counterintelligence work he had performed at the KGB. Born in 1927, he was the son of a senior officer in the NKVD, the predecessor to the KGB, and was literally fixed at birth with the stamp of Lenin's dream. His parents named him Rem, an acronym for the Russian phrase meaning "world revolution." Rem Krassilnikov followed his father into Soviet intelligence and was sent to overseas postings that included Canada and Lebanon. He married a woman whose parents had named her Ninel Lenin spelled backward.
But it was back home in Moscow where Krassilnikov made his mark as a specialist in counterintelligence. For a time, he was chief of the Second Department of the Second Chief Directorate, targeting MI-6, the British intelligence service, in Moscow. He later said in an interview that he learned much about British intelligence by spending time with two famous British spies who had defected to Moscow, Kim Philby and George Blake. He had taken over the First Department of the Second Chief Directorate, which concentrated on American activities in Moscow, by the time a series of American spies began to give the Soviets a trove of information about CIA operations in the mid1980s. First, in 1984, Edward Lee Howard, who had been fired by the CIA just before he was to be posted in Moscow, began to provide information to the KGB about spies working for the CIA in Moscow.
In the spring of 1985, Ames, chief of counterintelligence in the CIA's Soviet Division, then volunteered information to the KGB and eventually turned over a list of Russians working for the CIA. In the fall of 1985, Hanssen, an FBI agent, approached the KGB and provided information on many of the same agents betrayed by Ames. That intense period of Cold War espionage has since come to be known as "the year of the spy." For a brief time, that sudden wealth of inside information led Krassilnikov and his KGB spy. hunters from triumph to triumph, as they rolled up one American spy after another throughout 1985 and 1986. Perhaps the most important spy he captured was Adolf Tolkachev, Top Arizona Hells Angel shot dead outside bar By YVONNE WINGETTA THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN PHOENIX The president of a Cave Creek Hells Angels club was shot to death outside a north Phoenix bar early Saturday.
Daniel Leroy Seybert, 46, a biker who most people knew only as "Hoover," was shot in the head at Bridget's Last Laugh, a family member from Minnesota said. Hoover headed the club's Cave Creek charter. Lt. Joe Harris of the Desert Horizon Precinct in Phoenix confirmed the homicide, saying Seybert suffered "upper body trauma." He declined to give more details. "It was a shock," said Hoover's sister, Becky Paggen, 31, of Foley, Minn.
"We know he was shot coming out of a bar. "We don't know much else, and the less we know is probably bet- ter." It's unknown if the death is related to a long simmering rivalry between other motorcycle gangs and the Angels, who dominate the state's tough biker scene. News of Hoover's death quickly traveled around the world, with an announcement on the Angels Web site. Said one message: "Deepest regards in the loss of Cave Creek President and all around Brother, ambushed while leaving a local bar. Little else known so far" From Austria to Flagstaff, Denmark to Idaho, others eulogized him, some demanding "justice for this attack on One said, "Just got home from work heard what happened I'm going to have a drink to ya, gonna miss ya, Hoover."

Tolkachev was arrested in early 1985 and later executed.
In virtually every case, Krassilnikov's team would arrest a Russian agent working for the CIA in secret. Later, the KGB would often try to ambush a CIA case officer waiting to meet such a spy, not realizing the agent was already in prison. The result of the Soviet offensive was that, by 1987, the CIA had lost virtually all of its agents in Moscow, and the agency's ability to track Soviet intelligence had been severely damaged. In interviews in recent years, Krassilnikov, who by then had retired, was clearly sensitive about the fact that his investigators within the Second Chief Directorate had not received the credit he believed they deserved for so successfully thwarting so many American espionage operations. He said he thought it was unfair that historians assumed that the Russian spies had been handed to the KGB on a silver platter by Ames and other moles, and he argued that the capture of so many spies required intensive investigative work.
Krassilnikov's defensiveness may have been the product of a turf war within the Soviet intelligence bureaucracy. The American moles were being handled by the KGB's First Chief Directorate, the elite foreign intelligence service, rather than the Second Directorate, which handled counterintelligence within the Soviet Union. In addition to his widow, Krassilnikov is survived by his son, Sergei, and a daughter, Tatyana.
