The Bay Area Reporter notes, "We're hearing reports that there has been a shooting at the Mission Dolores chapel this morning." We'll update as soon as we know more.

Update: According to Mission Local, an elderly man shot himself in the head at around 7 a.m.

At around 7 a.m. the custodian for the chapel, Raju Kumar, noticed a man who appeared to be around 80-years-old, sleeping on top of the steps in front of the gift shop at Mission Dolores.

“‘Get up, it’s about time,’”he recalls telling the man. Kumar added that it is not unusual to see people passed out in front of the church early in the morning.

As the man got up, Kumar noticed the man’s bloody wrist and asked him if he was OK. After Kumar saw that there was a gun inside the man’s open umbrella, he stepped back and asked a passerby to call the police. At that moment the man picked up the gun and pointed it at his head.

“Don’t do that! don’t do that!,” Kumar recalls telling the man before he shot himself in the head. Police and other first responders arrived about ten minutes later and took the body, Kumar said.

Mission Local goes on to note that, although they don't normally report suicides (per MSM unwritten rules), they did so "because it happened in a very public space where many people could see the aftermath of the incident."
