Bullets flying through windows and a double hit-and-run resulted in the injuries of four people on Tuesday in the Bayview, one of whom is an 80-year-old woman. The woman initially believed she'd been shot after a bullet crashed through her apartment window near Third Street and McKinnon Avenue, but she was able to walk downstairs and tell her building manager, who then called police and an ambulance. She turned out to have non-life-threatening injuries caused by flying glass.
Right around the same time as the reports of shots being fired came in, there was a hit-and-run accident two blocks away at Thomas and Lane Streets involving a vehicle that may or may not have been connected to the shooting. The car, with an unknown number of occupants, appeared to be fleeing something, and subsequently crashed into a second vehicle at Third and Revere Avenue, at which point the occupants of the suspect vehicle tried to flee on foot and were detained.
In total, three people were injured in the course of the two hit-and-runs, one with life-threatening injuries, and all three were taken to the hospital.
As the Chron reports, "Authorities originally believed the occupants were involved in the shooting and had crashed because they were fleeing from the scene, but their involvement is unclear."
According to ABC 7, "An employee at the Bayview branch public library, located near the shooting, said it appeared there was a carjacking that led to the shooting."
The SFPD says that no arrests have been made in connection to the shooting that injured the 80-year-old woman.
