A suspect in his 40s armed with a BB gun shot a 59-year-old man in the cheek and a 52-year-old woman in her collar bone on Wednesday at 11:25 p.m. at Valencia and 24th streets, police reported. The shooting took place after the suspect attempted to rob the man as he got out of his car.
After the suspect demanded the victim’s property, a struggle ensued. It’s not clear if the victims gave up any cash.
The suspect fled on foot and victims were taken to San Francisco General Hospital for treatment.
No arrests have been made.
Gas Station Robbery, 9:14 p.m. Wednesday
A man armed with a semi-automatic handgun robbed a gas station on Cesar Chavez near Hampshire, police reported.
The 21-year-old clerk on duty at the gas station told police that the suspect — in his late 20s or early 30s — entered the station’s convenience store, pointed a gun at him and demanded the cash.
The clerk complied. The suspect then took his cell phone, jumped into a 1980s-vintage pickup truck and drove off.
Mugging, 9:40 p.m. Wednesday
Less than 30 minutes later, at 24th and Mission streets, two males in their mid-20s and a female in her 30s approached a 40-year-old man. “Give me everything you have,” said one of the men.
The victim didn’t have much: just a cell phone.
The suspect then punched him in the face and fled. The victim was treated at St. Lukes Hospital for minor injuries.
Yup, it seems like violent crime is definitely down.
