SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- An argument in San Francisco's Mission District led to a shooting that wounded a teenager Tuesday afternoon, police said.

The shooting was reported near the corner of 24th and Folsom streets at around 3 p.m., Officer Carlos Manfredi said.

The 18-year-old San Francisco man was in an argument with the suspect on the street nearby when the suspect pulled out a gun.
