Authorities on Friday arrested a man accused of stealing guns from his family’s San Jose home and leaving behind a letter threatening to shoot police officers and people in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Police Department said in a news release that 44-year-old Dustin Hamilton, a San Jose native and transient who was recently living in San Francisco, was arrested just before 6 a.m. near Fourth and King streets, near AT&T Park.

Tipped off by “several community members,” police said they arrested Hamilton without incident, and recovered two guns. A .357 pistol and shotgun were reported stolen Wednesday from his family’s house on Husted Avenue in the Willow Glen area of San Jose.

San Jose police said Hamilton’s family returned home from a vacation Wednesday night and found their home had been burglarized, and quickly discovered the firearms were missing.

They also found a 20-page note written by Hamilton, the homeowners’ estranged son, in which he made threats to “kill people in the city of San Francisco and any law enforcement personnel,” according to police.

Police added that in the letter, Hamilton specified he would commit a shooting Wednesday, but that did not happen.

San Jose police alerted police in San Francisco, and also obtained an arrest warrant for burglary, criminal threats, and firearms possession. Authorities also said Hamilton has active arrest warrants for assault and vandalism in San Francisco.

The fear over a loose gunman with specific designs for violence may have sparked an active shooter panic Thursday afternoon at Second and Brannan streets in San Francisco. Several businesses in the area locked down as a precaution, but soon after, San Francisco police announced that there was no merit to the reports.

Hamilton was set to be booked into the San Francisco County Jail on Friday on the active warrants out of San Francisco and San Jose, police said. It was not immediately clear where would be prosecuted first.

“The San Francisco Police Department would like to thank SJPD and the San Francisco

community for this collaborative effort to bring Hamilton into custody,” SFPD said in a statement.
