Wounds that left a man covered in blood after a dispute at a Folsom shopping center were determined to have been made by a pressure washer, police said.The man was initially thought to have been stabbed.The fight between two men took place around 6 a.m. Monday outside a hotel near the Folsom Premium Outlet Mall.One man had been hired to clean the outside of a building with the pressure washer, of the type that blasts water through a long wand. The other man reportedly got in a dispute with him and tried to take the washer away, police said — and the cleaning employee then apparently let loose on him with the forceful spray.“I can confirm it was not a stabbing,” Folsom police Officer Matt Stone told TV station KOVR. “The pressure washer, because of the pressure coming from it, looks like it created puncture-type wounds.”A pressure washer used for medium-duty professional jobs emits water at about 2,000 pounds per square inch.

The San Jose Sharks will open the 2023-24 regular season on Oct. 12 at home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights — and their early schedule doesn’t much easier from there.The Sharks will continue a homestand against the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 14, the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 17, and the Boston Bruins on Oct. 19. Those three teams, plus the Golden Knights, all won their respective divisions this past year and all finished within the top seven in the league’s overall standings.The Sharks’ grueling opening month then continues with a five-game, nine-day road trip with stops in Nashville, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, and Washington.The Sharks got off to a 0-5-0 start this past season and were never able to climb above a .500 points percentage. They’ll likely need to get off to a better start this season if they have any hope of ending a four-year playoff drought.Related ArticlesSan Jose Sharks | Erik Karlsson wi...
