They say the suspect was hit by officer gunfire and taken to a local hospital with life threatening injuries and that no officers were shot. Police giving this brief update on scene video evidence. We have to review Body Worn Camera video that we have to look at witnesses we have to interview as well as the officers have yet to be interviewed. So theres still a lot of information we dont know. Were learning things as theyre developing at this time. We dont think theres any other injuries other than the suspect, but we are still canvasing, combing through evidence to determine whether or not there are additional victims. And were asking the public if they saw anything or if they were involved at all prior to police arrival, to please contact the police department. We also spoke with a neighbor living in the apartment complex where the shooting happened. He says he was on his way home when police were arriving and just cop after cop after cop. So, i didnt think they were going to be here though. So when i made the corner came in and i seen everything taped off, it was actually pretty, pretty crazy. It was a little bizarre scene of seeing all the cop cars come here. You know, i have, actually another daughter, so its a little concerning because theyre both little girls and we were constantly taking walks, and, its a little alarming to know that that happened here and police say they will be holding a press conference sometime later today with more information about what happened.

A sidewalk mural originally made to oppose israels military campaign in gaza is being defaced by hate speech in San Franciscos noe valley neighborhood. The mural is on a building near nowy street and 24th street. Its been vandalized repeatedly since its creation, with messages that appear to support both proisraeli and propalestinian positions. At least one parent from a nearby daycare told us they dont think its right that their children have to see these images every day. Some neighbors we spoke to disagree, and they dont want the mural touched. The Jewish Community Relations Council says they have received numerous complaints about this mural. The message is outrageous to form a blood libel against the Jewish Community. The bloody visuals, the droppings star of david replace the star with a dollar sign. Its a classic trope that jews control the government or some form of manipulation, and it reads like textbook antisemitism. As to what comes next, thats unclear. The mural is on private property and we were unable to reach the owner. Regarding his future plans, our Media Partners at the sf standard report that supervisor representing the district, rafael mandelman, is aware of the defacements and is working with sfpd. Our request for comment to supervisor edelmans office were not returned. A federal judge is reopening the sentencing of david depape on friday.
