The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) team in San Francisco responded to a call this morning to head to the scene of a standoff to serve first responders and evacuees.
According to the San Francisco Police Department, on Sunday at 11:45 p.m., police received a call about shots fired in the area of 15th and Beaver streets near Corona Heights Park. Officers responded and found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound, and she was hospitalized.
