"Mission and Bernal Heights residents may have been confused Thursday afternoon as to why copters were flying above their neighborhood from noon until about 2 pm. And motorists traveling northbound on US 101 near the Cesar Chavez Street/Potrero Avenue exit had to have wondered why lanes were closed, and there was a heavy SFPD and California Highway Patrol presence. KTVU has the story that SFPD shot a man on 101 late Thursday morning."
"The incident apparently began around 11:19 am. While on scene, SFPD made contact with the subject near the Caesar Chavez off-ramp. During the encounter, the subject produced an edged weapon, and an officer-involved shooting occurred, SFPD said in a release. Officers on scene rendered aid, and paramedics transported the subject to a local hospital. The man's condition is not known."
