Update (4:18 p.m. Sunday): SF Appeal reports that the suspect’s gun has been recovered.

Update (8:29 p.m.): The Examiner now reports that the suspect in the shooting near Oakdale and Third has died from wounds he received after being shot by SFPD. The Examiner reports that:

“the two officers were conducting Muni fare inspections on a T-Third Street light-rail train when they detained the suspect on the platform at Third and Oakdale. The man bolted from the platform and fired back on the two officers, Andraychak said. That is when the cops shot at the suspect, with one officer kneeling down to take aim, according to one witness.”

SF Appeal also reports the story. SFGate’s report.

Weekend Photos: Thirteen

On their way to my house for a Muni Diaries crew dinner, Jeff and Tara bumped into a few readers on the 47-Van Ness who promised us a good Caltrain story. Over a couple of Manhattans we talked about how amazingly small San Francisco is, and how thankful we are for every person who’s ever contributed a story, a photo, a tweet, or just a thumbs-up. So, please, keep the stories coming — Muni Diaries is built on your lives on public transit.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend! We can’t wait to hear about your ride.

BART Music Diary: Powell Station

This video of Adrian came from rider Jessica Ann Graham via our Facebook page (which you’ve liked, right?). Adrian was rocking out at the Powell station the other day — I like how he plays to the camera.

We’ve also featured some amazing photos of BART Musicians earlier this year, including my favorite cello quartet, also at the Powell station.

Did a musician perk up your day at a Muni/BART station? Send us some photos, stories, or even better, a video, please!
