SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A Fremont man is in custody after police say he drove his SUV into numerous pedestrians in San Francisco Tuesday afternoon.

The Associated Press says the vehicle involved is registered to Omeed A. Popal of Fremont. San Francisco Police spokesman Neville Gittings says the spree started at Sutter and Webster. Witnesses say the SUV appeared to intentionally target pedestrians and people on bicycles.

Paramedics took at least eleven people to area hospitals. Investigators say it appears other victims may have walked themselves to the emergency room. There are at least a dozen different accident locations including:

Sutter at Webster
Bush at Divisidero
Sutter at Steiner
California at Laurel
California at Fillmore
Fillmore at Pine
Bush at Pierce
1850 Fillmore
Filmorre at Bush
Spruce at California
3250 California.
Gittings says San Francisco Police are talking with Fremont police about another hit and run accident reported Tuesday morning in the East Bay community. The victim in that wreck has died. Police are looking into possible connections between the two sets of crimes.

Three people in San Francisco suffered life-threatening injuries. They were all taken to San Francisco General Hospital.

Let's see: a crazed loner. But you won't see this described as an act of domestic terrorism. Count on it.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

Authorities said they believe Popal was the same driver who ran over a 55-year-old man walking in a bicycle lane in Fremont, at Fremont Boulevard near Ferry Lane, just after noon. That victim died."

So he's a murderer, too. And yet the SF paper leaves that detail out of the headline.

[dcrider182]

huh.. Well since the people of SF decided that a gun ban would get ride of all the violence...

...it SHOULD be just a matter of days until they ban cars as well.. next step.. get rid of the bridges; so as to has less suicide..

yeah SF.. good job "keeping people safer..

idiots

[pissant]

Stinking terrorists. Shoot the bastard without a trial.

Well, he was in an SUV.

Eliseo Billones Jr., 24, a canvasser for Greenpeace, was standing on the corner when Aglugov was hit. "He was going berserk," Billones said of the driver. "It was a red light and he just ran the red light. I saw him (Aglugov) hit the corner of the bumper and tumble.''

Shocking. Not that they found a canvassar for Greenpeace in San Francisco, but that he didn't mention the word "Neo-con" when speaking of the driver.

Reasons the driver isn't guilty:

1)He was driving an SUV; therefore, it's the SUV's fault.
2)He was driving on Bush street; therefore it's Bush's fault (sarc)

Sad. My husband and I were running all over San Fran yesterday on many of those same streets and I have a knee injury that prevents me from walking very fast. I would have been a sitting duck for him. Sorry it happened but I'm glad it wasn't yesterday.

Hmmm, can't find anything on Ohmeed Aziz Popal, but there is a reference to a Ahmed Aziz Popal...arrested in Canada back in 1998 for smuggling an Afghan woman into Canada. Probably not the same guy, but you never know. Maybe he changed his first name to slip into the USA without an arrest history.

SMUGGLER JAILED A man who attempted to smuggle a pregnant Afghanistan woman and her 18-month-old daughter into Canada has been sentenced to 60 days in jail. Ahmed Aziz Popal, 39, pleaded guilty to two counts of aiding and abetting the smuggling of the woman and child in Richmond provincial court on Wednesday. Popal, who lives in Toronto, Ontario, arrived with the woman and child at Vancouver International Airport on a flight from Kuala Lumpur on Jan. 16. Popal used a fraudulent Afghanistan passport and a genuine Canadian record of landing document to smuggle the pair.

Knowing that he probably walked past a Baptist church sometime in his life, I must be inclined to believe that he is a Christian, no matter what evidence might arise to the contrary. Any attempt to show that show he might be a Muslim or have roots in the Middle East is just bigotry.

Didn't a nutcase at a university in (NC?) do this recently? And exclaimed 'jihad' for cameras?
