An unidentified person who drove a car into the Chinese Consulate building on Laguna Street in San Francisco, California, is dead after being shot by police inside the building.
A person accused of ramming a car into the lobby of the Chinese consulate in San Francisco, California, Monday evening is dead, according to San Francisco police. The suspect, whose identity has not been released, was inside a car that came to rest inside the lobby of the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China, the San Francisco Police Department said in a media briefing on Monday.
The investigation into the incident remains open and the department said it is 'working and coordinating' with U.S. State Department investigators. Earlier in the evening, the San Francisco Police Department posted on social media just before 7 p.m. advising citizens to avoid the area of Laguna Street and Geary Boulevard because of ongoing police activity. FOX 2 in San Francisco reported a large presence outside the Chinese consulate.
Molchanov also told The Standard he heard two gunshots. Police were reportedly worried the suspect had an explosive device in the vehicle, and several police vehicles and emergency vehicles responded to the scene, along with bomb-sniffing dogs.
