At least nine people were shot Friday in what police believe was a “targeted and isolated incident” in San Francisco’s Mission District neighborhood.
All the victims are expected to survive the shooting, which happened while “some kind of block party” was going on, San Francisco police Officer Eve Laokwansathitaya said during a press conference.
At least five of the victims were hospitalized, according to Santiago Lerma, a legislative aide to a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. One of the five was undergoing surgery Friday night while four people were being treated for minor injuries, Lerma told CNN affiliate KPIX at the scene.
Police were called to the Mission District around 9pm local time.
“When officers arrived at the scene they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds,” police said in a statement. “Officers called medics to the area to treat and take the victims to local area hospitals.”
No arrests were immediately reported by authorities.
The Mission District, better known as The Mission, is a large and diverse neighborhood often known for its historic architecture in the east-central part of San Francisco.
