SFPD Shoot, Kill Alleged Armed Man In Bayview

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco police shot a man in San Francisco’s Bayview District early Saturday evening. The man died later that evening from his injuries.
The incident occurred around 4:45 p.m. on Third Street and Oakdale Avenue when a 19-year-old man, who was believed to have been carrying a gun, was shot and collapsed on the sidewalk, police said.
A police spokesman said the shooting began after two uniformed officers conducted a fare inspection on a Muni light rail vehicle.
They detained the man on the platform, but he fled on foot.
During the foot pursuit, police said the suspect fired at the officers, and the officers fired back.
Witnesses had a different story and said police overreacted.
