Reportedly Armed Suspect Crashes Car Into Chinese Consulate in San Francisco

A person reportedly armed drove their vehicle into San Francisco's Chinese Consulate building on Monday, according to a local media report.

The person driving the car was also suffering from a gunshot wound, according to the San Francisco Standard.

The driver, who police believe was armed, allegedly attempted to ram the vehicle into the consulate building. The suspect was then shot by a police officer inside the lobby of the consulate.

The person was taken to the hospital where they later died, the San Francisco Police Department confirmed Monday evening.

Police also requested bomb squad technicians to the scene because of concerns that the vehicle may have had an explosive inside.

The San Francisco Police Department warned people to stay away from the area surrounding the consulate near the intersection of Laguna Street and Geary Boulevard, near the city's Fillmore District.

The Consulate-General for the People's Republic of China said in a statement that the crash severely damaged the embassy's building.

"Our embassy severely condemns this violent attack," the consulate said.
