A triumph for San Francisco gun control: "A police officer died early Saturday after he was shot during a gunfight that also left a suspected fugitive dead in the city's Sunset District, police said. Bryan Tuvera, a 4 1/2-year department veteran, was rushed to the emergency room at San Francisco General Hospital Friday night and pronounced dead just after midnight. "Tragically, he died from his injuries," said San Francisco Police Chief Heather Fong. The incident began around 8:15 p.m. as Tuvera, 28, and his partner tried to serve a felony warrant on a suspect described as armed and dangerous. The two officers chased the suspect on foot to a garage, where the suspect fired at them, shooting Tuvera in the head, police said. The second officer returned fire. The suspect, wanted for escaping from a correctional facility, died at the scene."
