Assistant Chief Hector Sinas told the San Francisco Police Commission on June 14 that SFPD responded to an active-shooter incident at a UPS facility at Seventeenth and San Bruno at approximately 8:55 a.m. "At approximately 08:55AM, San Francisco police officers responded to a call of several people shot at the UPS building at Seventeenth And San Bruno," Sinas said.
Multiple officers entered the facility, established contact teams and found the suspect still armed, Sinas said. Officers reported that the suspect "put this gun to his head and discharged the weapons." The suspect was secured, provided aid and later was pronounced deceased, Sinas said. The department identified six shooting victims including the suspect and said three of the shooting victims were deceased; investigators were searching the scene for additional victims and witnesses.
Sinas said the response involved several partner agencies, including the Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI. He said the San Francisco Police Department’s homicide detail is leading the ongoing investigation and asked anyone with information to call the tip line at (415) 575-4444.
The department said the building has been secured and the shelter-in-place order was lifted. Sinas asked the media and public for privacy for victims’ families and said the city has set up unification and support services for employees and relatives, coordinating with the Red Cross and DPH crisis teams.
The Police Commission opened its meeting with the briefing and extended condolences to victims and thanks to first responders; Vice President Mazuko and other commissioners publicly thanked tactical and entry teams for their actions during the response. The department said at the time of the briefing that it did not believe the incident was related to terrorism.
