A theft suspect was killed and two San Francisco Police officers were injured after they were run over by a motorist in the city\u2019s Nob Hill neighborhood.<\/p>\n
The officers responded at 7:36 a.m. Friday to a reported theft at a Trader Joe\u2019s grocery store on California and Hyde streets, according to a statement<\/a> by the police department. They attempted to make an arrest in the alleged theft, but the suspect ran away.<\/p>\n The officers followed and got into a physical altercation with the suspect that led to the three of them being on the ground in the roadway, according to graphic video of the incident posted on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n A Lexus SUV then proceeded to run all three of them over before coming to a stop. The video shows one person lying motionless in the street as one of the officers stands back up and bystanders gather around. The other officer was pinned under the vehicle, the police\u2019s statement said.<\/p>\n \u201cFirefighters removed the officer from under the vehicle while paramedics rendered aid and transported all three patients to the hospital,\u201d the statement said. \u201cDespite life-saving efforts, the initial theft suspect, who was struck by the vehicle, succumbed to his injuries and was declared deceased.\u201d<\/p>\n Both officers were taken to a hospital, where they were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries as of Friday morning. The driver of the Lexus \u201cremained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. As of Saturday morning, authorities had yet to publicly release the names of the people involved in the incident or provide an update on the officers\u2019 status or whether the driver had been arrested or charged. <\/p>\n The vehicle \u201cwas unrelated to the theft incident,\u201d a representative of the police department told KTVU<\/a> Fox 2 San Francisco. A reporter for the TV station said in a Friday broadcast that the station had learned that there was \u201cnot a lot of detail about the injuries\u201d and that \u201cthe two officers, a rookie officer and a field training officer, are in stable condition being treated for their injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
