A little before 11 p.m. on Friday night, three men were shot near 16th and Mission following a verbal spat. According to Mission Local, the victims (ages 24, 24 and 42) were all whisked to a nearby hospital, with two suffering life-threatening injuries.

Kate Elston of ML reports:

Josh Gonia, who watched the scene from outside El Capitan Hotel on Mission Street, saw the confrontation build up to the round of gunshots.

According to Gonia, two men were outside of the McDonald’s on Mission Street, yelling at another two men across the street at the bus stop. One man ran after another with a baseball bat.

"And then the other guy pulled his gun out," Gonia recalled as he withdrew money from an ATM, clearly shaken up. “It was unbelievable."

Around 8-9 shots were heard during the melee.

No arrests were made. Police have no suspect information. We'll update as soon as we know more.
