A shooting and subsequent fire have left one person dead and a San Bruno home in ruins, leaving the community shaken. The incident began at around 3 p.m. on Keefe Court near Rosewood Drive, with police responding to a reported shooting investigation. However, it soon became clear that the situation was far more dire.
As authorities arrived on the scene, they found one victim critically injured, who was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The identity of the deceased has not been released. Meanwhile, the shooter remains at large, and police have yet to comment on whether an arrest has been made or if the suspect was involved in the fire that engulfed the home.
Despite the chaos, a swift response from emergency services ensured that no one else was injured during the evacuation process. However, around 40 people were forced to flee their homes as the fire threatened to spread. Fortunately, by Friday night, all residents had been safely evacuated and returned to their properties.
According to San Bruno Police Department Chief Matt Lethin, the incident is a rare occurrence in the normally safe community of San Bruno, leaving many feeling "particularly alarmed." As part of the ongoing investigation, police are currently assessing the scene once the fire department has contained the blaze. When they are ready, authorities will begin a more thorough examination of the property to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting and subsequent fire.
While neighbors have expressed shock at the incident, there is no record of any prior issues with the home or its occupants. As the community comes to terms with this shocking event, residents are left to wonder what led up to such a tragic outcome.

It's just so senseless... I mean, San Bruno's always been known for being super safe and quiet, you know? And then something like this happens... it's just devastating. 40 people had to leave their homes and now one person is gone 
. The police are saying it's a rare occurrence in the community, but I think everyone's feeling pretty rattled right now 
. I've lived around here for years and I've never seen anything like this... it's just so hard to understand what happened 
. The fact that there was no record of any issues with the home or its occupants is even more confusing... did someone just snap? 
Whatever the reason, our thoughts are definitely with the victim and their loved ones 
.
. i no its gonna sound weird but i feel bad 4 the ppl who didnt do ennything wrong & still got affected by this. idk wut kinda mental state u gotta be in 2 cause u just set fire 2 ur own home & kill some1 
. police r tryin hard 2 figger out wut happend but atm its all a mystery...anywayz my thoughts r w/ the fams of the victim 
You're driving home from work and suddenly there's a shooting. Like what even? The whole thing with the fire just adds to the chaos 
i feel so bad for the family that lost their home and the person who got shot 
anyway, i think the cops need to hurry up with solving this case, like literally 40 people had to evacuate their homes due to the fire and now they have to deal with finding a new place to stay 
how do u even live with someone who's gonna go all out like that? did they know anything about the homeowner or was this just a random thing? 
i guess they're still investigating, but it's like, how long is that gonna take?! 
anyway, my heart goes out to the family of the person who died 
also gotta give props to the emergency services for getting everyone out safely 
. 40 people had to evacuate their homes because of the fire, which is just devastating. The thing that's really got me is how quickly emergency services responded, though - it was super reassuring to see that everyone was safe 
), I have to say that the idea of a tragedy like this happening in a neighborhood is just super sobering 
. It makes you realize how quickly things can change, and how important it is to be looking out for each other 
.
RIP i guess 
. The fact that there were no prior issues with the homeowner or their property makes it all the more baffling 
. And let's not forget about all those folks who had to evacuate their homes... what if this was a test run for somethin' bigger? I know it sounds crazy, but you can't rule out the possibility that there's more to this story than we're bein' told 
.
. I'm all for the police getting to the bottom of this investigation but come on, can we please get some answers already? Like, what was going on at that house and why did it escalate so quickly? It's like they just... vanished into thin air 
. Anyway, my heart goes out to the victim's family and loved ones, sending all my positive vibes 
️.
... the investigation is probably gonna take some time to figure out what happened, but it's hard not to think about all the 'what ifs' right now
