He is now on leaving facing serious accusations. Sources say gantt, who is married, had his girlfriend of four years typing homicide reports for him. I think its ridiculous. Its shocking its an surged. It calls into question any case he ever investigated. Calls into question his credibility. And i guess his fitness to be an officer. Holy moly.

Mayors and. Ktvus amber lee is live at city hall in San Francisco. She was there when the announcement came late this afternoon. Amber . Reporter julie, the mood at city hall is somber. The announcement came suddenly this afternoon, it was not altogether surprising since the mayor himself had previously acknowledged that reforms in the Police Department are underway. The progress that we made has been meaningful. But it hasnt been fast enough. Not for me, and not for greg. And thats why i have asked chief suhr for his resignation. Reporter the mayor made the announcement late this afternoon after meeting with the chief. At his side, suzy loftus, the president of the Police Commission and deputy chief Toney Chaplin. The mayor named chaplain as acting police chief. This came just hours after after a Police Sergeant shot and killed a 27yearold black woman who police say was driving a stolen car in the bayview shortly before 10 00 a. M. I have previously expressed confidence in chief suhr
That showed them that the shooter was dropped off at the crime scene by an s. U. V. They looked for the s. U. V. , located it and there was a woman driving it so she is now in custody. Able to develop there. We also asked about the victim. Noname right now because they are still trying to reach the family so they dont want to give out any information until they do that. They do tell me it was a latino man who appears to be from the bay area. About 1 00 in the afternoon at a busy intersection, a gunman approached his vehicle, while he was at that light. Reporter the driver was killed inside his red dodge pickup truck while made making a turn. Alameda county sheriffs deputies say the shooter used a handgun. Fired multiple rounds into the car.

We as children of the 80s know word for word. People who live on the coast still feeling a bit of a cool down. I like that song. Thank you, thank you. When sting was not just sting, he was with the police. Good launch into the news of the day. Well start in the south bay. One person is in custody in connection to an Early Morning homicide in san jose. Ktvu has been following the developing story throughout mornings on 2. Shes live at that home where the victim was found. Reporter thats right, and right now the westbound direction of ocala avenue is still closed. And thats because crime scene technicians are here.

Its an embarrassment to be a witness of what the police does and is allowed to do on the streets of San Francisco, going around and killing people. The police are here to the job of the police is to help, to assist, and it prevent the killing of people, but instead what we see happening is that they are going around the streets killing people as if they were animals. Its very saddening for parents, for mothers and fathers to hear that their loved ones have been assassinated on the street by the Police Department.

We should be cognizant of them and be able to see them on the streets, but we dont see them at all. This cannot and should not stay as it is. We need to actually see the reforms that you all talk about on the street. We need to see them here and we need to see them on the streets. So thank you very much and in ending, i would like to thank
