Another San Francisco police shooting?\u00a0 This time, San Francisco police shoot and kill a man and it was all caught on tape.<\/p>\n
\nThe incident occurred around 4:45 p.m. (Saturday, July 16) on Third Street and Oakdale Avenue when a 19-year-old man, who was believed to have been carrying a gun, was shot and collapsed on the sidewalk, police said.<\/p>\n
A police spokesman said the shooting began after two uniformed officers conducted a fair inspection on a Muni light rail vehicle.<\/p>\n
They detained the man on the platform, but he fled on foot.<\/p>\n
During the foot pursuit, police said the suspect fired at the officers, and the officers fired back.<\/p>\n
Witnesses had a different story and said police overreacted.<\/p>\n
As the man was running he had his hands up in the air, and then hit the ground when he was shot, one witness said.<\/p>\n
Police maintained that the man had a weapon and they searched the area for the firearm.<\/p>\n
One bullet casing lay on the street, and police said it came from a gun that did not belong to the police officers. Police said witnesses could have taken the victim\u2019s weapon when the man collapsed, or the suspect could have thrown the gun somewhere during the pursuit.<\/p>\n
The suspect was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and he later died from those injuries at 7 p.m. The officers were not injured.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
