A home-invasion robbery in San Francisco led to gunfire Sunday night between assailants attempting to make a getaway and police, officials said.

The incident unfolded around 11 p.m. at a home in the 2100 block of Quesada Avenue near Rankin Street in the Bayview neighborho­od, police said.

Officers received a report of a robbery in progress and quickly set up a perimeter around a house they suspected was targeted. As they moved in to search the home, they saw several people fleeing out a back door, officials said.

One fired an errant shot at a uniformed officer, and the officer shot back as those fleeing jumped fences and ran through neighborin­g backyards, officials said. Apparently, no one was hit by the gunfire.

Officers fanned out and issued a shelter-inplace order for neighborho­od residents.

One person was taken into custody, but it was not clear if he was the one who shot at the officer. The suspect’s name was not released.

Backup officers and a K-9 unit responded, but the other assailants got away.

Police were interviewi­ng victims of the home invasion on Monday, but did not immediatel­y release details of the robbery, which resulted in minor injuries to one victim.

Police called off the search and lifted the shelter-in-place order at 4:45 a.m. on Monday.

Anyone with informatio­n about the incident can call police at (415) 574-4444, or text tips to TIP411.
