Shooting At San Francisco Pride

Posted on 03 July 2013

 

San Francisco, CA – As Pride San Francisco was wrapping up for the day (just minutes after the official end time), a shooting took place that just outside of the Civic Center, near Larkin and Grove Street. The two men shot were identified as vendors for the event, ages 23 and 42. Two suspects in their late teens or early 20s approached a group of vendors, shooting the two victims in the legs, according to the police. They are expected to have a full recovery.

The San Francisco Pride Celebration Committee issued a statement addressing the shooting, expressing sympathy for the victims: “The ability to hold our annual celebration would not be possible without the hard work of and the important partnership with our vendors. Our hearts go out to them for this terrible incident. At the close of a week where the LGBT community had had such tremendous victories, we are saddened that such a senseless and selfish act has occurred to diminish even one moment of our celebration.”

Following the shooting, the suspects fled. They have not been found or properly identified.

If you have any information regarding the shooting, San Francisco police urge you to call (415) 575-4444
