Man seriously injured in Visitacion Valley shooting

A man was seriously injured in a shooting near San Francisco’s Sunnydale housing project in Visitacion Valley on Friday night, police said.

Officers responded to the 1600 block of Sunnydale Avenue around 7:30 p.m. after a ShotSpotter gunshot detection system sensor picked up gunfire in the area.

They found a 28-year-old man lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Two suspects are thought to have fled south from the area on foot, but police did not release a detailed description of them. No arrests have been reported.
