The police department started getting frantic calls that a number of people inside the store were being attacked.
“Officers arrived on scene and located several victims and were alerted to a suspect who had committed an assault,” said Officer Robert Rueca of the San Francisco Police Department.
The assault began inside the store and ended up outside.
That’s where police say the suspect tried to get away but ended up confronting and beating to death a 73-year-old San Francisco senior.
“The suspect attacked the victims with his fist and his feet,” said Rueca. “So the attack was done with the suspect’s arms and legs.”
