Four men were shot<\/a> while trying to break up a fight between a man and a woman in San Francisco<\/a> on Saturday, police said.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened just before 1 a.m. on the corner of Mason and Market streets in the city’s downtown Tenderloin District, San Francisco police told SFGate.<\/a><\/p>\n

The men who were shot were trying to intervene in an altercation between a man and woman, both of whom were strangers to them.<\/p>\n

As the group of good Samaritans tried to stop the pair from arguing, the man pulled out a firearm and shot them, police said.<\/p>\n

All four of the men were hospitalized with injuries, but are expected to survive. Authorities did not share the extent of their injuries or any other information about the victims.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the shooter fled the scene, and authorities had not located him as of Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bilal Mahmood, the supervisor of San Francisco’s District 5, which covers the neighborhood where the shooting unfolded, said on X Saturday that suspects had been identified, but no arrests were made yet.<\/p>\n

“I was present at the crime scene and spoke to officers on the scene,” Mahmood wrote. “Thanks to the actions of SFPD and RTIC, suspects have been identified.”<\/p>\n

“We appreciate the swift actions of our first responders, and will be monitoring the situation as it develops,” he added.<\/p>\n

Authorities did not specify what the man and woman were arguing about when the incident unfolded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four men were shot while trying to break up a fight between a man and a woman in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[49115,74132,101,103,102,104,106,105,165338],"class_list":["post-413195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-bilal-mahmood","tag-good-samaritans","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-tenderloin-district"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
