Overview
- Officer Brittney Taylor, an eight-year SFPD veteran who was shot in the leg and foot during a pursuit that ended in the Bayview, was discharged from San Francisco General Hospital on June 19 and went home under a police escort.
- Colleagues rushed Taylor from the scene into a patrol car and transported her directly to the hospital, a move trauma surgeon Dr. Andre Campbell and Taylor credited with being critical to her survival.
- Prosecutors have charged the driver, identified as Norris Reed III, with attempted murder and other felonies after officers recovered a .40-caliber Glock and a privately made 9mm “ghost gun” from the vehicle.
- The city released body-camera footage and held a public town hall as the SFPD, the Department of Police Accountability and the district attorney’s independent investigations unit continue parallel reviews of the shooting and the police response.
- Taylor said she expects a full recovery in six months to a year and plans to return to duty, and the case has renewed local focus on pursuit tactics, unregistered firearms and officer safety in Bayview.
