For those asking about the big emergency response: SPD and SFD responded just before 9 am to an apartment building in the 4800 block of California SW. The “scenes of violence” dispatch was for a person with a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound and police confirm to us at the scene that this is believed to have been a case of suicide.

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of self-harm, you can call the 988 hotline to talk with someone 24/7.

Is there any information about who this was? I live in this building & just want to know which of my neighbors this was if anyone knows.

  The victim was a high-school student. We are not publishing his name, as we have never heard directly from his family, but his school community was notified.

Sorry, comment time is over.
