A man was hospitalized Monday afternoon with life-threatening gunshot injuries after a shooting at the California Department of Corrections building in San Francisco’s Mission district, police said.

Police were called at 3:52 p.m. Monday to the CDC building at 1727 Mission St., where they found the victim, said SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak.
