San Francisco police pulled over a car this afternoon around 1:30 pm near the intersection of Larkin and Bush, as reported by local news stations KTVU and KRON.

The stories are not yet identical but essentially the driver left the car and started firing a gun at the police. Police returned fire. A passenger in the car escaped.

The KTVU witness account says officers fired a single shot.

Hamood Albadani, 52, who was visiting San Francisco from Michigan, said he witnessed the shooting while walking on Sutter Street.

He said that he was at the intersection of Sutter and Larkin streets when he saw a man fire five or six shots toward a parked car, but couldn’t see if he was shooting at anything in particular.

He said the shooter was in the street, and that a police officer approached him from the sidewalk and fired one shot to the man’s head, taking him down.

KRON says it was multiple shots.

Witnesses say the driver fired two shots at the officer who was not hit. The police officer returned fire hitting the fleeing man several times including at least once in the chest.

The man is now in hospital. The officers were not injured.
