Bicycle Riding Shooter Injures Two

In the seven years I've lived in the area, and have gone to Third and Palou to catch MUNI, I don't think I've read about as many shootings and problems at this corner as I have in the past few months.

The victims, ages 16 and 17, were at the intersection when the shooter rode up on a bike and opened fire, striking one of the victims in the torso and the other in the hand, according to police.

The suspect fled and had not been found as of this morning, police said.

The victims' injuries are not considered life-threatening, according to police.
