At least one person was wounded, and one suspect has been detained. Coral News tweeted police don't think there's a link between the shooting and the Pride activities.

A YouTube video -- which includes strong language -- seemed to show the scene from a different location. "Thought we were safe until SFPD all had guns drawn," user Sean Franc-Strang wrote.
Saturday's incident wouldn't be the first shooting to happen at a San Francisco Pride festival, which is one of the largest in the country. Last year, three young men were arrested for shooting a woman and taxi at the parade. In 2013, two men were shot in the leg at the Civic Center just as Pride festivities concluded.
