San Francisco's most pleasant neighborhood had its cheery, safe veneer shattered this morning with a shooting -- 8:50am, Steiner and McAllister. We are shocked, simply shocked. Surely, city officials, police leaders, and representatives of the nearby public housing will take swift and effective action to ensure that this is the only time citizens ever feel unsafe while walking through the Western Addition.

SFist_Jim was fortunate enough to be in the neighborhood at the time, that lucky thing. We'll be posting pix of the scene just as soon as they roll in.

Update: Jim reports that the victim was doing well enough to converse calmly with paramedics, and that the area was very quickly secured. (Readers, however, report that there were three victims in total.) Be careful, everyone, please. And don't shoot people.

Update on the update: SFGate reports that three victims were conscious and transported to hospitals.
