Suspect with knife barricades self in building after officer-involved shooting

San Francisco police are involved in a standoff in the Tenderloin neighborhood Tuesday morning after an officer-involved shooting involving a suspect reportedly brandishing a knife.

Officers responded at 6:36 a.m. to a report of a person with a knife along the 500 block of Jones Street. Officers eventually found the person and an officer-involved shooting occurred. More information on the shooting and on the suspect’s potential injuries were not immediately available.
