(02-17) 18:31 PST San Francisco -- Two people were shot and injured in unrelated shootings in San Francisco early this morning and police have arrested three suspects in the attacks.

Both shootings occurred at around 2:15 a.m. in separate parts of the city, police said.

Officers were in the Tenderloin area of Taylor and Turk Streets when they heard gunfire, and then found one victim with gunshot wounds, police said. The unidentified victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital and was listed in critical condition, police said.

A suspect armed with a gun was arrested at the scene, police said. That person's identity and gender were not released Sunday.

At virtually the same time as the Tenderloin incident, another shooting was reported from a taxi cab in the area of 16th and Harrison Streets, police said.

A passenger in the cab was shot near the buttocks and right thigh area, police reported. The unidentified victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital and treated for non life-threatening injuries, police said.

Two unidentified suspects, believed to be outside the taxi at the time of the shooting, were taken into custody, police said. The driver was not injured, police reported.
