The shooting occurred at 10:25 p.m. around Turk and Taylor streets. Police Lt. Lea Militello said a silver Mercedes SUV with no license plate was driving westbound on Turk from Taylor toward Jones when someone inside opened fire, striking five people. One woman was killed.

The other four victims were transported to San Francisco General Hospital. One of the victims ran from the location of the shooting to Golden Gate Avenue and Jones and collapsed there, Militello said.

Police cordoned off a large crime scene. A yellow tarp covered the body of the woman on Turk. The body was lying in the street in front of a parked minivan.

Police said the Mercedes fled across the Bay Bridge at speeds topping 100 mph. The Mercedes exited the freeway in Oakland and headed onto Webster Street, where police lost track of it.

Lise Tulau, a San Francisco resident, said the person who was killed was her sister's wife. Tulau said she received a call from her sister who believed the victim was an innocent bystander.

She described the victim as a woman in her early 30s who was "nice, pretty, educated and outgoing."

end.


I mean cmon, those police chasin that guy must have been like, "oh shit man! this is for real, we gotta chase this motherfucker!!" and then when they lost him they were probably pretty upset that they totally blew it. right now somewhere in SF, detectives are being woken up and acting rude to regular cops, demand coffee and bagels from the most incompetent one. everyones seen Boondock Saints yeah? im thinking something like that.
