Two men were shot at 2:40 a.m. Sunday at the bus stop at 18th and Mission Streets, according to police.

The victims were at the stop and got into an argument with two suspects. One of the suspects pulled out a handgun and shot the 20-year-old victim in the arm and abdomen before shooting his 21-year-old companion in the leg, police reported.

SF Gate is reporting that police say it was a gang related incident.

The suspects fled on foot and headed towards a car, police reported.

Both victims were taken to San Francisco General Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

It’s unclear if the suspects got into the vehicle, but it was last seen heading northbound on Mission, according to police.

There was no relationship between the suspects and the victims, police said.

At 9:30 p.m later that day, a 23-year-old man had his wallet stolen by a group of three suspects who then fled the scene on foot, according to police. The robbery took place at 16th St. and Mission.
