Police are investigating the double homicide of two store employees that took place in a souvenir shop near San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf on Sunday night, a police spokesman said. Officers responded to reports of a shooting at 296 Jefferson St. at about 8:20 p.m., according to a San Francisco Fire Department dispatcher. Arriving crews found a man and a woman who had been shot inside a store that sells souvenirs and luggage, San Francisco police spokesman Lt. Troy Dangerfield said. Both were employees at the store, he added. They were pronounced dead at the scene, Dangerfield said. One man has been detained and is being questioned by police, but officers have not yet determined if he is the shooter. “He is the only suspect in the case right now,” Dangerfield said. No other injuries were reported. Dangerfield said that the store would likely be closed to patrons over the next couple of days. “I can’t imagine that the store would carry on business as usual,” he said. “I mean, these people were shot and killed in there.” No motive for the killings has been determined and the incident remains under investigation.
