Violent SF Night Leaves German Tourist Dead, Four Wounded
A tourist visiting from Germany is dead and a man and three other women wounded in a night of deadly violence in the heart of San Francisco, police said Monday.
The first shooting took place sometime between 9 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. in the 400 block of Mason Street near the Ruby Skye nightclub, Sgt. Troy Dangerfield said.
Authorities said Mechthild Schroeer, 50, of Minden, Germany was struck by a bullet and killed, and two other people -- a 15-year-old boy and a 19-year-old woman -- were wounded. The pair was taken to a local hospital, treated for their injuries and released.
Investigators were still searching for suspects and collecting information, Dangerfield said, but the nightclub did not play a role in the violence because it was closed Sunday.
Hours later in the nearby South of Market neighborhood, two women were shot outside a nightclub.
The shooting unfolded at about 1:55 a.m. in front of the 1015 Folsom club at Folsom and Harriet streets, although it is unclear if the two female victims had been inside the club, San Francisco police Sgt. Troy Dangerfield said.
Both women were shot in the torso and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. An update on their condition was not readily available, Dangerfield said.
