Shootings across California and elsewhere made for a violent Father's Day and Juneteenth weekend, with at least a dozen killed in seven states.
“While it’s not clear whether the nonfatal shootings are following the same pattern, it is fortunate that homicides are coming down,” Rosenfeld said. However, he did note that“I wouldn’t be too quick to suggest that what we’re seeing over the past weekend is a substantial spike in shootings or mass shootings generally,” he said. “They have been distressingly common over the last few years.”Gun violence has become the drumbeat of our days. We say we’re shocked, but we’re really not.
Two cars zoomed past tourists and sightseeing spots, firing back and forth, Scott said. Witnesses reported hearing dozens of shots,“The cars basically drove very recklessly and chased each other while engaged in exchange of gunfire,” Scott said during a news conference near Howard Street and the Embarcadero, from where one of the cars was eventually towed.
Two people were shot, one of whom suffered life-threatening injuries, Scott said. It wasn’t immediately clear whether either of those shot were involved in the shootout. Additionally, two girls who were walking their bikes across the street were struck by the speeding cars, Scott said. The 10-year-old was taken to the hospital with injuries that were deemed not life-threatening; the 16-year-old was not hurt.
