SAN FRANCISCO — A UPS employee opens fire at a San Francisco package delivery facility on Wednesday, injuring four and prompting a massive police response in a neighborhood near downtown, officials say.
UPS spokesman Steve Gaut tells The Associated Press that an employee fired inside the facility before the drivers were sent out to do their normal daily deliveries. Gaut says four people are injured and that he believes the shooter “turned the gun on himself.”
Auto shop owner Robert Kim says he heard about five to eight rapid gunshots. The next thing he knew, he says, “a mob of UPS drivers” is running down the street screaming “shooter, shooter.”
Police confirm the shooting at the facility in the Potrero Hill neighborhood, about 2.5 miles from downtown San Francisco, but don’t release further information.
The shooting led to a massive police response and a shelter-in-place warning for the surrounding area. Police advised people to avoid the area.
