Police Investigating Shooting at Park

According to the San Francisco Examiner, police received a report of a shooting at about 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. When officers arrived on scene, they discovered a male victim with gunshot wounds to his buttocks, leg and hand.

The victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with what are considered non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooter, an unidentified male, reportedly left the scene in a red vehicle with a 21-year-old woman. When the car was located later, the woman was still inside and was arrested, says the Examiner.

Police are still investigating the shooting.

Shot Fired During Laptop Theft

(SAN FRANCISCO) -- A man had his laptop stolen Monday night by three men, one of whom fired a handgun during the incident.

According to police, the victim, 36, was on Sutter Street when shortly before 8:30 p.m. he was approached by three black men all thought to have been 18 years old.

They grabbed at the man’s laptop bag and a struggle ensued. One suspect drew a handgun and was able to get a hold of the bag after another struck the man in the jaw.

The man chased the robbers down the street, but stopped when the handgun-wielding suspect fired off a shot.

The man was uninjured aside from the hit to the jaw, which was very minor. The three men got away with his laptop, carrying case and cell phone.
