2 Detained After Shots Fired On Market Street; No Injuries Reported
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- Two people have been detained after a shooting on Market Street in San Francisco Thursday afternoon, a police spokeswoman said.
Officers on patrol in the 1000 block of Market Street between Sixth and Seventh streets heard shots fired shortly before 3 p.m. and were able to detain the pair and recover a weapon, San Francisco police spokeswoman Officer Grace Gatpandan said.
No one appears to have been struck in the shooting, which prompted the closure of Market Street and the re-routing of Municipal Railway buses around the area, Gatpandan said.
Eastbound Market Street has since reopened and the westbound side will reopen shortly, Gatpandan said shortly after 4 p.m.
The two people detained will be taken to a police station for questioning, she said.
The SFMTA was reporting that metro service was moving slowly between the Powell and Montgomery stations at around the same time due to a possible intruder, but there was no word if the two incidents were related.
