A man was killed and two others were injured in a shooting Friday in a residential neighborhood of San Francisco’s Western Addition, police said.

Gunfire broke out near the intersection of Turk and Scott streets just before 11 a.m., said Officer Giselle Talkoff, a spokeswomen for the San Francisco Police Department.

When officers arrived, they found two victims on the street suffering from gunshot wounds, and paramedics transported them to a hospital, Talkoff said. One of the victims died, and another was being treated for life-threatening injuries, she said.

The third victim in the shooting later walked into a hospital seeking treatment, she said.

Officers at the scene Friday afternoon said that of the two injured victims, one was in surgery and the other had a graze wound.

Police described the shooter as a man, 40 to 50 years old. He was last seen fleeing eastbound on Turk Street.

Sylvia Gonzalez, 46, who lives nearby, said she heard what sounded like six fireworks ring out through the neighborhood shortly before police patrol cars swarmed the street.

Another neighbor, 24-year-old Rob Schone, said he came home just after noon to see his home was within a taped-off crime scene area. His next-door neighbor’s house had two bullet holes in it.

Officers told Schone that a group of men had been talking on the street when an altercation broke out and shots were fired.

Neighbors said they weren’t surprised by the violence. David Spires, 51, who lives a block away from the shooting scene, said gunfights had happened there several times before.

“This is a shooting gallery right here,” he said. “It’s a jungle here in my neighborhood.”
