Apr. 27 - KGO - A young man was gunned down while playing basketball in a Western Addition community center shortly around 5 p.m. Thursday, San Francisco police confirmed.
Family members identified the victim as 22-year-old Dante White.
San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens said White was shot while playing basketball with 15 to 25 other people in the gym at the Ella Hill Hutch Community Center at corner of the McAllister and Webster streets. Those using the community center quickly scattered outside.
"This individual was targeted," said Gittens.
Concerned neighbors gathered around the door of the community center this evening, some crying.
"That's a whole generation being wiped out," called out a woman. "How many kids are going to die? Where do the guns come from?"
Grief counselors are on hand.
San Francisco police ask anyone who witnessed the murder to call the department's tip line at (415) 553-9755.
