On Monday afternoon, a driver crashed a vehicle into the Chinese Consulate building in San Francisco, leading to an ensuing shooting that has left many questions unanswered. The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed that the driver was shot during the incident, which occurred while security personnel were present within the consulate. However, the identity of those involved in the shooting remains undisclosed at this time.
As of now, the suspect responsible for the crash and the subsequent shooting has not been apprehended, and the scene surrounding the consulate remains active. Geary Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in the city, has been temporarily closed, causing traffic delays, and commuters are urged to consider alternative routes.
Details surrounding the incident are still limited, and the San Francisco Police Department has initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances and motives behind the crash and the subsequent shooting.
Notably, earlier on the same day, police activity was reported near the University of San Francisco (USF), raising questions about whether the two incidents are connected. Authorities have yet to confirm any links between the events, leaving residents and observers anxious for more information.
