A man out jogging late Thursday on San Francisco’s Cathedral Hill had his exercise interrupted when he was shot, police said.

The 24-year-old victim was trotting up Ellis Street outside the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption when a gunshot rang out through the neighborhood about 10:30 p.m. Only after he looked down moments later did he realize a bullet hit him in the upper torso area, police said.

The victim walked home, and his mother drove him to a nearby hospital. Medics transported him to a different hospital for treatment of the gunshot wound, police said.
