Nobody was hurt in the Golden Gate and Hyde street shooting, and police have arrested a suspect in this shooting.
In the Saturday shooting, which took place at about 7 p.m., San Francisco police officers responded to a report of a shooting near the intersection of Market and Mason streets, Shyy said.
Upon arrival, officers located a male victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, Shyy said.
The victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital for treatment and was expected to survive, according to Shyy.
Anyone who witnessed either shooting or has information regarding the incidents is urged to contact San Francisco police at (415) 553-0123.
The shootings all occurred while San Francisco celebrated Pride weekend, which attracts visitors from around the country and the world for the LGBT parade and festivities.
Many of the large hotels that accommodate visitors over the Pride weekend are located within a few blocks of where the shootings occurred.
Police arrested at least 70 people at celebrations over the weekend, mostly for being drunk in public.
