Shootout at SFO Grand Hyatt Likely Connected to Carjacking Attempt; Investigation Continues
A dramatic Monday evening shooting outside the new Grand Hyatt hotel at San Francisco International Airport involved at least two gunmen, and the suspects apparently tried to carjack a new getaway vehicle right around the time of the shooting.
What was initially described as a shootout with crossfire in two directions may have been more one-sided, according to new info from the San Mateo County Sheriff s Office. As KPIX reports, investigators say that the gunmen and possibly one or two other accomplices pulled up to the hotel at 7:53 p.m. Monday in a white Acura SUV. Two or three men got out of the SUV and allegedly began shooting in the direction of two parked cars in the hotel s valet area.
Richard Deschler, a deputy with the San Mateo County Sheriffâs Office, was on the scene for two ocean search-and-rescue operations in January. In the span of one week, two people were swept out to sea by large surf at Pescadero State Beach. Only one person was recovered.
A few days later, an 8-year-old boy was pulled out to sea from Cowell Ranch State Beach. During the responses, Deschler stood on the beach piloting a drone, searching for any signs of life.
âI thought even if I see them, thereâs not much I can do until a boat or helicopter gets out there,â Deschler recalled. âI thought if our drones are able to give them lifejackets, it at least gives someone a chance to get rescued out there.â
