One person was shot in what appeared to be a drive-by shooting in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood Friday evening, police said.

The incident occurred at 5:37 p.m. with witnesses reporting several shots fired on Cesar Chavez Street between Treat and Folsom streets, said Officer Carlos Manfredi.

A male victim was struck in the torso and taken to San Francisco General Hospital where he appeared to be in stable condition, Manfredi said.

Andina Cortitio, 44, was inside her home at Cesar Chavez and Treat streets when she heard the gunfire.

“I just heard shots ... maybe about four shots,” she said. “It just happened so fast.”

The vehicle fled the scene. Police investigators were searching for video surveillance and possible witnesses.
