SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) - A 33-year-old man is suffering life-threatening injuries after he was shot 16 times early Saturday morning, a spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department said.

Police responded to the 300 block of Ellis Street at around 3:15 a.m. and found that the victim was wearing a bulletproof vest, officer Samson Chan said.

But the victim was shot at least once in the face, and was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with life-threatening injuries, Chan said.

No, just holey.

[Farmer Dean]

Harder to kill than roaches when they armor up.Everybody will be going for the head shot after this.

Failure drill is common. Two to the chest an one to the head......

Nosler boat tails. It’s the only way to be sure. Kidding aside I hope he recovers. Where there is life there is the chance for redemption.

Wearing a vest at 3:15am? Prolly just walking his kids to the ice cream shop.

That the Tenderloin section of downtown. No stroll in the park even in daylight.

[razorback-bert]

I will bet he was shot with one of those evil assault guns with a big clip.

[Squantos]

Would hate to die with brass in my pocket per se.

Been using a Guncrafters Glock in their proprietary 50GI calber for work an as a CHL rig....love it.

Hope yer well.....

[Squantos]

Or just a stolen “Patrol Rifle”.....:o)

[Secret Agent Man]

Not a bad idea as law abiding civilians here to pick up a vest or two. In a riot or SHTF situation you really don’t want to get shot.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

What health insurance plan is he covered...

never mind.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You couldn’t pay me to live in SF, much less anywhere in CA. I’d rather live in Siberia.

[Tainan]

The ‘Mozambique Drill’....train on throat shots or shots to the inner thigh - their left one if possible.

[Squantos]

LOL !

Sounds like a blade pattern.....:o)

A good one !
