Police are investigating a shooting that left two dead and two injured near the Alice Chalmers Playground in San Francisco Sunday afternoon."Sick and tired of going to funerals. I've been to my own son's funeral 25 years ago," she said.

She passionately recalled the moment she had to explain to her grandson on his sixth birthday that his father had went to heaven. "The scream I heard from my grandson on the phone, that's the scream that wakes me up every day," she said, and reiterated,"I'm tired of going to funerals, I want to go to graduations."
