I'm a lasagna boy!

Both men were known to the police.

First time as I can recall shots being fired west of Fillmore on Haight. And it was the cops that done it.

A San Francisco police officer shot and wounded a fleeing man Monday night after the man backed his car into the officer's partner and dragged the officer several feet, police said.

The incident began on Haight Street, just west of Steiner Street, at 9:10 p.m. when two officers spotted two men, one of whom was wanted, in a passing vehicle. The men parked their car in a driveway and the officers stopped to question them, said San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens.

As one of the officers was questioning the two men, the driver suddenly backed up the car, knocking down the other officer, who was standing alongside the car, Gittens said.

The officer was dragged 10 feet, police said. His partner fired two shots at the fleeing car, slightly wounding the driver.

As the men in the car fled, the uninjured officer called for backup, police said. Responding officers located the wanted vehicle and chased the suspects, stopping them at Central and Lyon streets, where they were arrested.

Gittens said both men were known to the police. He said one of the suspects was wanted on an arrest warrant Monday night when they were initially stopped.

Police did not release the identities of the officers or the suspects. They also did not describe the severity of the injuries sustained by the police officer or the suspect, both of whom were transported by ambulances to hospitals.
