A Mission resident said that at about 9 p.m. Friday a series of shots went off at South Van Ness. It is unclear if anyone was injured.

San Francisco Police Officer Robert Rueca confirmed that shots had been fired, but no victim had not been found, he said.  “Officers are out there investigating,” Rueca said.

One witness said he was going to Vic’s Grocery store on the northwest corner of 26th Street and noticed three young adults who made him nervous.

Once inside the store, he heard about 10 shots and then saw the three men running east on 26th Street. He also did not know if anyone had been injured.

We will update this story when we get new information.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.

  1. Why nothing about the shooting on 1/25/17 around 3-4am 20th and Shotwell/Folsom. Eight shots fired. 4 by police and 4 back at them according to my sources.
