SAN FRANCISCO -- An off-duty police officer shot a person early
Sunday morning in the city's Bayview neighborhood during a
dispute that occurred after a minor car collision on Interstate
280, police said.  The two cars were involved in the collision
at approximately 12:12 a.m. and exited I-280 at Bayshore and
Jerrold streets to exchange information, San Francisco police
Officer Albie Esparza said. During the exchange, a physical
altercation started, and when it escalated, the female officer
fired her gun, Esparza said.  Police did not identify the gender
or age of the person who was shot but said the bullets grazed
the person's lower body and that the injuries were not
considered life-threatening.  It was not known immediately what
started the altercation or why the officer felt compelled to use
her weapon. Esparza said that, per policy, she has been placed
on administrative leave while the incident is investigated by
the department's Homicide and Internal Affairs divisions.
