Authorities in San Francisco on Thursday released video footage and 911 calls from a police shooting that led to an hours-long standoff at a community center in the Tenderloin last week. During a town hall meeting held virtually due to the coronavirus, Police Chief Bill Scott and his brass detailed the incident that started with an assault on the early morning of April 21. Police identified the suspect in the shooting as Thomas E. O'Bannon, 31. The officer who shot at O'Bannon is Jordan Townsend, an officer from Tenderloin Police Station. O'Bannon was not struck by gunfire, according to Commander Robert O'Sullivan. The series of incidents began when O'Bannon allegedly used a wooden board to attack a man who was walking his dog on the 400 block of Post Street at around 5:30 a.m., police said. The man suffered facial injuries including a bloody nose. About an hour later, O'Bannon allegedly locked himself in an office at the lobby of the Pierre Hotel at 540 Jones St. A 911 caller said he had a bloody wooden board and possibly a knife.
