Employees at a UPS facility in San Francisco were asked to put their hands up as they left the building, according to Kevin Wood, who took this picture from his home across the street.
The San Francisco Police Department released a series of tweets to update the public on the incident, and have lifted the ‘shelter in place’.
The shelter in place has been lifted. #SFPD Special Ops is continuing to search the building for additional victims and witnesses. #SF
