San Francisco Sheriff’s deputies said they arrived at the 14th and Roosevelt Way areas to conduct an eviction. Upon arriving at the scene, the subject of the eviction fired multiple rounds “of unknown caliber” at the deputies, the sheriff’s office said.

The general area was evacuated, and no injuries were shared. SFPD Tactical Team members, San Francisco Fire Department officials, SF Muni, and medical personnel arrived on the scene to assist with the sheriff’s initial response.

The sheriff’s office said “negotiations were ineffective.” Emergency officials advised the public to expect delays. SF Muni said IB/OB 37 was being rerouted around Roosevelt between the 15th and 14th.

After unsuccessful negotiations, police took the subject to a nearby hospital for further assessment. “Gratefully, the deputy sheriffs that were shot at during the eviction did not sustain any physical injury,” the sheriff’s office said.

At 3:10 p.m., SF Muni said all regular service resumed. An SFPD official also told KRON4 that the scene was clearing.

SFPD said it will present charges to the District Attorney’s office as the lead investigating agency.
