Police officers fatally shot an armed man who climbed to the sixth floor of a construction site in San Francisco’s Mission District and aimed one of his guns at nearby St. Luke’s Hospital, authorities said.
The man fired at least one round before being shot to death, but police did not say whether that shot was directed at the adjacent hospital. No one was hit, police said.
The man, who wore white coveralls and appeared to be in his late 20s, ascended to the sixth of seven floors of the incomplete building around 4:15 p.m. after robbing a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in San Bruno, a little more than 10 miles away.
The man had committed the robbery with a handgun and emerged with a second firearm — one of the store’s shotguns — as well as shells.
As San Bruno police began probing the robbery, a pair of San Francisco officers responding to witness reports of the armed man at the construction site on Cesar Chavez Street came upon the man and shot him.
Both weapons were found on the man after he was killed, and the getaway car from the San Bruno gun heist was also recovered.
The man, who was not immediately identified, “appeared to be firing” as officers arrived.
