Three people were shot outside the Regency Ballroom at Van Ness and Sutter on Sunday night where radio station KMEL was hosting its annual House of Soul event. The incident allegedly began as a fist fight which spilled out of the venue on to Van Ness, and ended with gun shots fired. As of this writing there's no word as to whether any passersby were injured, but according to ABC 7 none of the shooting victims were gravely injured. Sidenote: There was a wedding reception going on in the Masonic temple space on the top floor of the building at the time of the shooting, which was unfortunately interrupted by the sound of gun shots.
Update: Reports this morning say that nine eight people were shot and wounded outside the Regency Ballroom. "All of the victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries," notes SF Chronicle.
No arrests have been made.

I'd expect no less from a KMEL-sponsored event.
"In the legs"????
I hope the shooter/shooters are mortally embarrassed and choose to turn the gun(s) on themselves!
Amateurs.
You can make frun of me for going to my twee indie rock shows, but the worst thing that ever happened to me there was someone talking all the way through Yo La Tengo.
"Frun"? Ack.
At least islamic terrorists are willing to kill themselves when they kill others. Blacks need to either stop with the killing or...no that's it.
I live a block and a half from the Regency. If it's not a shooting, its just tranny hooker fights. I love my hood.
Maybe this was the same shooter that shut down Halloween in the Castro after shooting but not killing nine souls?
How do you shoot nine people without killing anyone?
1. Small, low powered bullets; but more importantly:
2. You don't try to kill people - you're just shooting them to send a message.
Prosecutors would have a hard time proving an intent to kill in either of the nine-victim shootings.
Prosecutors in this city have a hard time prosecuting anything, that is if they even bother to take a case. Too many political races ahead for them to exert effort.
Yes, because when I'm trying to send a message -- say, don't forget to pick up the milk on the way home -- a bullet is my preferred delivery method.
Have you seen how they hold their guns, though? Most of them are terrible shots to begin with, then coupled with holding a gun sideways?
ORLY?
when, pray tell, did you see how 'they' hold their guns?
@jimH, shooting into a crowd shows enough wanton disregard for life that the case makes itself (or at least that is what i gather from all my years of watching law and order)
Fuckin' a, man. I go to this place all the time. If someone shoots me -- even non-fatally -- I'm not going to be happy about it.
And by "not happy" I mean someone will get their dick sued off.
Did you just say someone will get their dick sucked off?
