The Latest: Woman yells about gunfire at San Francisco park
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Latest on three people shot at a popular San Francisco park (all times local):
4:50 p.m.
A woman was sitting a popular San Francisco park when she says she heard a burst of gunshots and saw a person holding a gun and running.
Antonia Juhasz says the park was packed with families and tourists Thursday and that she started yelling, "It's actually a gun, it's actually a gun!" to get people's attention.
She says it was a terrifying moment because people were not reacting, possibly thinking the blasts were fireworks. She says once people realized gunshots were erupting, they started running in a panic.
Juhasz says she saw someone running off with a handgun and two people bleeding profusely, who emergency workers carried away on stretchers.
Police say three people were shot and transported to hospitals but didn't release other details.
