8:55 AM: In what SFPD is describing as a “possible gang-related incident,” an undescribed suspect reportedly drove up next to an undescribed victim’s car at 3rd and Williams, started a conversation, then pulled out a gun and allegedly shot the victim.

4:30 PM: A “large group” of men and women reportedly assaulted another group at 14th and Natoma. This crime is not being described as gang-related, which is surprising because from the slender description we have, it sure sounds gangy!
