Police Activity Prompts Alert at San Francisco’s Stonestown Galleria

Limited information underscores the need to heed official alerts over unverified posts.

Overview

  • The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management issued an alert telling people to avoid Stonestown Galleria due to police activity.
  • The alert named the mall’s address at 3251 20th Ave and said emergency crews were on scene with likely traffic delays and suggested alternate routes.
  • Officials have not described the nature of the incident and they have not confirmed any injuries or arrests.
  • Unverified social media posts claimed a person with a gun and an evacuation at the mall’s Apple Store, which reporters at Times Now said they could not confirm.
  • City emergency alerts are used to steer people away from active scenes and reduce congestion, so shoppers and drivers near the mall should expect delays until authorities clear the area.
