Two men were fatally shot in separate incidents Sunday morning in San Francisco’s first two killings of 2017, police said.

The first shooting occurred at about 2 a.m. in the Mission District. Officers responding to reports of a person shot found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest at 26th and Shotwell streets.

The second shooting took place nine hours later in the Bayview neighborhood. Officers responding to reports of a shooting at Third Street and Oakdale Avenue found a male victim with a gunshot wound to his face at about 11:25 a.m.

Both victims were transported to a hospital, where they died. They have not been identified.

Police said they do not believe the two killings were related and are investigating each shooting separately.

While there is no indication that the incidents were gang related, police said, the gang task force is investigating, as is standard protocol for any shooting. No arrests have been made.
