San Francisco police have nabbed two men who they say are responsible for gunning down eight people in the city's Tenderloin District on Sunday.
On Monday, police arrested 25-year-old Curtis Warren and 24-year-old Verle Jones, both of San Francisco. The duo was booked into San Francisco County Jail and charged with eight counts of attempted murder as well as assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy, says Officer Albie Esparza.
On Sunday at about 9 p.m., a group of people were standing outside a store on the corner of Turk and Taylor streets when two gunmen in a silver Volkswagen Jetta sprayed the area with bullets.
Eight people were hit, but all are expected to survive, according to police.
The following day, authorities were able to track the two suspects down in Emeryville where they were arrested. Police found the vehicle involved in the shooting, but no weapons have been recovered at this time.
Police are not releasing booking photos at this time, pending identification matters.
