2 Hospitalized After San Francisco Tenderloin Store Shooting
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- Two people, including a shop owner were shot in a store in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood Monday afternoon, police said.
Gunfire was reported at 1:03 p.m. at Turk and Leavenworth streets, police spokeswoman Officer Grace Gatpandan said.
Police said the suspect came into the store with a handgun during an altercation and shot the store owner along with another person inside.
The suspect fled with the gun in his hand and ran southbound on Leavenworth. Police don't know the name of the suspect, but did say they know who they're looking for.
Arriving officers found the two gunshot victims inside the store. One of the people shot inside the store was undergoing surgery at San Francisco General Hospital for what appeared to be life-threatening injuries. The store owner did not appear to have life-threatening injuries, but was taken to the hospital as well.
KCBS reporter Margie Shafer went to report from the scene and said she saw up to seven bullet markers in the store.
SFPD spokesman Albie Esparza said the incident was not related to the quadruple homicide in Hayes Valley Friday night.
Investigators have not yet determined a motive for the shooting.
