Man Opens Fire in San Francisco Hotel; Three Killed

Published: Jun 28, 2003

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A man opened fire in the lobby of a residential hotel Saturday, killing three people and critically wounding another, police said.

The shooting apparently followed an argument at the hotel, San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens told KCBS radio. Details remained unclear, and the name of the hotel was not immediately known.

Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene and a third died at a hospital, Gittens said. A fourth victim was in critical condition.

The gunman, believed to be a resident at the hotel in the city's Tenderloin District, fled. Police closed nearby streets as they searched for him, Gittens said.

"Residential Hotel" = FLOPHOUSE
"Tenderloin" = ONE OF SAN FRANCISCO'S WORST NEIGHBORHOODS

But somehow, it'll all be the gun's fault.

I agree, except for the fact that guns are outlawed in California, as is murder. This story must be fake.

If somebody tried that in my home town, he'd be mowed down by any number of CCW holders. But that's the difference between living in a disarmed victim zone as opposed to a place where citizens take personal responsibility for their safety.

Yep, those guns are regular little monsters. Just like that gluttonous plant in the Little old Shop of Horrors, demanded,"FEED ME! FEED ME!" THe triggers on those little ol' handguns, demand,"SQUEEZE me! SQUEEZE me!!!!!!!"

But we have gun control in California that's even more strict than the rest of the country!

BUT BUT BUT...

Heh. NBL (Not Bloody Likely).

Little Miss Mofo loves his fellow man (I mean, really, really loves his fellow man), but not enough to be strutting his high-priced meat in the 'Loin.

I wonder if he was using one of those evil assault weapons?

Or was it the evil Saturday Night Special?

If we had ballistic fingerprinting, this would all have been avoided, we would have caught him before he shot the other two people.

Guns should only be used by the police! It's clear that no one else in this story needed them!

"the gun's fault."

Overzealous housecleaning?

Just curious... did the gunman happen to say anything like "Death to America" or "Allah Akbar" when he opened fire?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Just for matter of discussion. One point.
If we ban drugs which isn't wrong if lays of shelf. But it is man who put them in his mouth.
Same way gun isn't wrong if lays on shelf. But it is man who shoot another from it.
So man uses drugs. Man uses gun. Why first is banned but second isn't?

If California had a 1000% tax on ammunition this would have never happened.
When are they going to wake up over there. GW should be impeached for not suspending the 2nd amendment(by executive order) and seizing all guns in California. The U.S. Government is negligent and we should pay the families of these people at least a million each, because our government did not protect them.

More likely it was a twelve letter incest reference.

More likely a quarrel among drug dealers or thugs.

You just don't get it. It's not the gun or the drugs...it's the manufacturer of the shelf. If the shelf-maker (probably owned by some rich guy) had not made a shelf that allowed drugs on it ...this would have never happened. The shelf-maker should be sued and made to pay, and required to put warning labels, and smart pill technology on all their products.

drug possession is legal?

okay, exchange "gun" with "baseball bat" and reread your statement.
