Though many details are still unclear and the investigation of Friday's shooting remains open, SFPD spokesman Gordon Shyy tells us that the injured party, a 16-year-old male, was booked into the Juvenile Justice Center on charges of firearm possession after he was released from SF General.  

Noting the recent spike in violence, Supervisor London Breed has organized a safety walk with Police Chief Greg Suhr, to be held this Wednesday at 5pm, starting at the Hayes Valley Playground at Hayes and Buchanan. 

Breed and Suhr have pledged an increase in police foot patrols in the area, with Shyy informing us that "officers from Northern Station's housing and violence reduction teams will be doing intermittent foot patrols." According to Shyy, there is currently no formalized foot patrol beat in the area, but that "officers during the course of their shifts will now be asked to get out of their cars and walk in the area."

Breed says this Wednesday's safety walk is designed to bring the community together. On the agenda are some words from both Breed and Chief Suhr, followed by a community walk focusing on the public housing developments along Rose Alley.  "We will focus on the alley where the shootings take place mostly, check in with people who live there, what are there concerns, just really talk with people who are living directly in the neighborhood," she said. "There are neighbors who don't know each other, so it's really getting people to look out for one another, to walk the community." 

Merchants, police officers, housing security guards and residents are all slated to join in the walk, which will also include handing out flyers with safety tips and resources.
