SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco police plan to maintain an increased presence in the mid-Market neighborhood for at least the next week following three separate shootings earlier this week within a two-block radius of Market Street.<\/p>\n
Police patrols <\/p>\n
Why you should care:<\/p>\n
The increased security measures come as police acknowledge that some residents and business owners feel unsafe in the area.<\/p>\n
Early morning patrols were already visible on Thursday near Market and Jones streets, where one of the incidents took place.<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The first shooting occurred just after noon on Friday near Taylor and Turk streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, four people were shot near the Powell Street BART station on Market Street when they attempted to intervene in an argument between a man and a woman. The suspect pulled out a gun, shot the bystanders, and fled the scene. All four victims are expected to recover.<\/p>\n
The third shooting occurred around 3 p.m. Monday near Market and Jones streets, leaving the victim with life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
In a video posted online, San Francisco Supervisor Bilal Mahmood questioned Chief Derrick Lew about the city’s public safety strategy.<\/p>\n
“We know that visitors, residents, people don’t feel safe right now,” Lew said, outlining a high-visibility enforcement plan that includes increased foot patrols and special operations involving technical units.<\/p>\n
Lew noted that investigators believe all three shootings are unrelated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police have arrested three suspects so far and expect to make additional arrests as the investigations continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
High-visibility patrols are scheduled to remain along Market Street for at least the next week.<\/p>\n
