San Francisco police officers shot and killed a man in Bernal Heights Park after he apparently pointed a weapon at them, police said Friday night.
Officers were called to the park around 7:10 p.m. after receiving reports of a man with a gun, according to Sgt. Danielle Newman.
Officers encountered a male subject with a weapon, and when he pointed the weapon at them, they opened fire, Newman said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, and police located an additional weapon, Newman said.
Newman says that a town hall regarding the shooting will be planned for early next week.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information should call (415) 553-1444.
Officers then responded to the area of Division and Bryant streets around 10:30 p.m. after learning that a group of protesters were marching to the Hall of Justice at 850 Bryant St., Sgt. Danielle Newman said.
During the march, several police cars were vandalized with graffiti, according to Newman.
Newman said the protesters then left the area of the Hall of Justice and were marching toward the Mission District.
As of early Saturday morning, there have been no reports of injuries or arrests.
Further details of the protest were not immediately available.
