A man accused of fatally shooting his 22-year-old girlfriend Tuesday night in the Sunset told police he accidentally shot her through the wall while she was showering, according to a source familiar with the case.<\/p>\n
Nation Wood, 25, said he was \u201cdry-firing\u201d his gun at his apartment and didn\u2019t realize it was loaded when a round went through the wall and struck Samantha Emge, according to the source.<\/p>\n
Wood was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter<\/a> Friday. He was due to appear in court Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n The San Francisco Police Department said officers responded to a residence in the 2200 block of 22nd Avenue at about 10:43 p.m. Tuesday and found a woman who had been shot. The victim, later identified as Emge, a San Francisco resident and 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n A neighbor told The Standard they saw a bleeding person on the sidewalk outside the Abraham Lincoln High School gate. Police did not respond to questions about where Emge\u2019s body was when officers arrived.<\/p>\n Wood also graduated from the university in 2025, according to a spokesperson for the school. A friend of Emge told The Standard that Wood was Emge\u2019s boyfriend. Emge\u2019s Instagram profile includes several pictures featuring the couple since early 2024.<\/p>\n Police have provided no additional details about the incident, but the fact that Wood is facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter indicates that authorities believe the shooting was not intentional. Charging documents filed by the San Francisco district attorney\u2019s office accuse Wood of killing Emge \u201cwithout malice.\u201d<\/p>\n
