Around 5pm today Christina Barnett Haas posted this question to our FB “Does anyone have any information about a possible shooting in the area around Chestnut & Grand Ave earlier today?” ** A neighbor responded with the following from the incident report: ”#SSFPD looking for 3 subjects in a WHITE Chrysler 300 . Hispanic males shaved head, blk shirts. The vehicle was involved in a shooting at 2 :27 today and rounds possibly hit a structure . San Francisco County also involved in the investigation with San Mateo County.”
Crystal L Rodriguez-Donis shared this photo stating it was what she saw when she came home from work. Chris Vito shared a video on our FB page taken from his dash cam from approximately 7:52pm that shows Chestnut open and a few patrol cars on the side of the road.
