Two people were gunned down Sunday night near San Francisco’s Embarcadero, a tourist attraction on the waterfront, according to city police.
Officers arrived on Beach and Stockton streets shortly before 7 p.m., where they found two people with gunshot wounds, according to police. The victims have been taken to a hospital; police had no information about their condition.
Little information was available about the incident Sunday evening, although two vehicles were believed to be involved in the shooting, according to San Francisco police.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at (415) 575-4444 or text TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD. Tips can remain confidential.
The shooting, which took place near Pier 39, a hub for tourists and sea lions, comes as San Francisco has been dealing with a spate of crime and store closures, as well as homelessness that – in this historically liberal city – has frustrated residents and politicized by conservatives who argue that these outcomes are the result of progressive policies.
