"On Monday afternoon, two separate alerts went out about an hour apart through the Citizen app, as well as AlertSF, telling residents to avoid the area of California and Larkin streets in Nob Hill. The first alert was for a police report at 2:52 pm of a man driving a purple Ferrari allegedly flashing a gun. According to the second alert at 4:14 pm, the same man, who police said may still be armed, barricaded himself inside a nearby apartment building."
"According to Redditors, the suspect is well known in the neighborhood due to his pet duck and chihuahua who go everywhere with him. He's allegedly been going through a mental health crisis in recent months, and friends have been trying to help him get support. One Redditor said the suspect appeared to be having a psychotic break exacerbated by the use of Google Gemini, based on his recent Facebook posts."
"Specialized units were called in, and police worked to end the standoff peacefully, according to updates on Citizen. At 7:37 pm, the suspect was safely taken into custody, and at 8:34 pm, AlertSF sent a notification that the scene had been cleared and the issue resolved."
