San Francisco Giftcenter & Jewelrymart Shooting
I'm glad they caught the suspect so we can determine the cause of such horrible crime. I feel unsafe in this country to be honest because you never know when tragedy can struck.
A bloodied gunman suspected of killing two women and seriously wounding a man at a shopping center in a crowded San Francisco neighborhood was arrested after opening fire on police officers, authorities said.
Officers encountered the suspect Friday outside the San Francisco Giftcenter & Jewelrymart in the trendy South of Market area. At first they were not sure if the man, who had blood on his clothes, was a shooting victim or a suspect, police Chief Greg Suhr said.
The man, whose name was not released, opened fire at officers while retreating into a restaurant, Suhr said. The man kept shooting until he apparently ran out of ammunition and surrendered, Suhr said.
Officers did not return fire because the sidewalks were crowded with shoppers and residents.
The suspect was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. A gun and a knife were recovered from the scene.
SWAT officers swept the building, but police said there were no outstanding suspects.
"We believe from video in an adjacent store that there was one suspect. We believe that it is the suspect we have in custody," Suhr said.
