A 42-year-old Sacramento man was busted early Monday morning after he chased down a Western Addition man to his home and opened fire with a fully automatic AK-47 rifle.

The Chronicle reports the incident started when gunman Kareem Benton got into an argument with another man on the 1000 block of McAllister Street near the Ella Hill Hutch Community Center. Benton followed the other man to his home nearby, where he pulled out the rifle preferred by Soviet fetishists, terrorist cells and Ice Cube, before unloading on the building with a "spray" of gunfire.

Benton fled the scene in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which police found around 2 a.m. this morning on Cashmere Street in the Bayview. The victim was hit by one bullet in the leg while inside his home, but he is expected to pull through. San Francisco Police, meanwhile, weren't quite sure what charges Benton could face for unloading on the man's home, but it is most certainly illegal to own a fully automatic AK-47, prompting SFPD spokescop Albie Esparza to report the obvious: "Criminals don't adhere to any laws. That's why they are criminals."

The neighborhood has seen a rash of gun violence recently. Earlier this month, a man with no criminal connections was shot and killed a few blocks away at Hayes and Webster Streets in a seemingly random killing. In December, 24-year-old Byron Beasley was shot and killed in the street nearby at Grove and Buchanan Streets.
