- One person was killed and a second was taken to hospital with life‑threatening injuries after shots were fired at the San Pedro Square fan zone, authorities confirmed on Sunday.
- Police cordoned off the area around North Market Street and West Santa Clara Street and said the case is being investigated as a homicide with no suspects or motive released so far.
- Officials said the shooting happened after the day’s only World Cup match had ended, that no live broadcast was running at the site, and that there were no indications the attack was tied to the tournament.
- A Reuters reporter on the scene described a heavy police presence and officers removing a person on a stretcher, and an anonymous security worker said she saw a severely injured man bleeding from his neck and upper back.
- San Pedro Square is one of several Bay Area fan zones with many bars and restaurants, officials ordered nearby streets cleared and businesses closed temporarily, and investigators say they will release more details as they seek suspects and confirm victim identities.
