Another shooting took place at about the same time in a taxi in the area of 16th and Harrison streets, the officer said. One victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with a gunshot wound to the buttocks.

Two suspects were taken into custody, according to the officer. The victim was reported in stable condition, he said.
