This happened, not at Valencia Gardens, but in front of the apartment building next door. I was about to watch Lost when I heard an argument outside, I stuck my head out the window to see what was up, that's when I saw one person shoot twice at another person. The person who was shot was taken away by a white car. They left the scene going the wrong way on a one way 14th street. No one was taken by an ambulance. That's all i got.

I work at Southern Exposure, an arts organization on the corner of 14th and Valencia. My co-workers and I were leaving the gallery at around midnight last night (Don't ask.) and there wer far more than a few police cars. They were lining the streets; Valencia btwn 14th and 15th,15th btwn Valencia and Guerrero - on and on. It looked like a cop car graveyard out there. Enough is enough is enough. And let's give a big shout out to sfgate.com for yet again not burdening its reader with the news.

Actually, I walked by last night and the shooting appeared to have happened in front of a boutique near the housing project (though I wouldn't assume it was a boutique-related shooting). Valencia Gardens has come a long way since its previous incarnation, and smart design and a regular police presence have helped keep some really bad elements and individuals from returning to this neighborhood (the Chronicle had an excellent article on the development a few months back). I wouldn't assume this has anything to do with the project, since the spot in question is only two blocks from Mission Crime Ground Zero: 16th & Mission. That intersection basically makes a + on the SFDP's crime map.

From the view in front of my apartment at 15th and Valencia, I could count about six police cars, but no ambulances around 11:15 pm last night. I haven't found anything in the news about what happened. Help SFist!
