An altercation between two drivers ended in gunfire early this morning in the Western Addition, according to SFPD.

In the incident, a 31-year-old man was driving east on Golden Gate Avenue near Gough Street at 1:17am when a male suspect pulled up in his vehicle and began yelling at him.

According to SFPD spokesperson Officer Giselle Linnane, the suspect then tapped the victim's car using a maneuver that caused the driver to lose to control as the vehicle spun around and came to a stop.

At that point, the suspect fired a handgun at the victim and fled the scene. The victim was not injured, and no description of the suspect or his vehicle was released.

Anyone who has information about this incident is encouraged to contact SFPD via the department's anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444, or text TIP411 with "SFPD" at the start of the message.
