Officer Shot With Pellet Gun In SF Bayview

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) ― A San Francisco police officer was slightly injured Wednesday morning when he was shot in the neck with a pellet in the city's Bayview District, police said.

The officer was speaking with someone about an abandoned vehicle in the 1300 block of Thomas Avenue at about 10:30 a.m. when he was struck, San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens said.

He was treated and then taken to San Francisco General Hospital "just for observation," according to Gittens.

Officers searched the area but didn't find a pellet gun or suspect.
