good evening, everyone. a manhunt underway after a san francisco police officer was shot and wounded during some kind of a confrontation in the city's mission district. this is a live view in daily city where a vehicle believed to be used in the shooting was found abandoned. police officers have closed several streets, including the area around the mall as they continue their search for the gunman. you can see the locations where the police are investigating. they're searching for the shooter near interstate 280 and daily city, where the car was found, but the shooting was around florida street, not far from the hospital. that's where we find patty. >>reporter: we're live on florida street. you can see it's still blocked off, and just down the street

is where the 28-year-old officer was shot around 3 this afternoon. we're told that he and his partner were responding to a call about malicious mischief. here's what a witness saw. >> we were just sitting on the stairs and i heard four or five shots go off. >>reporter: there was a squad car. >> i saw blood on the squad car and a policeman down right by the rear driver's side tire holding on and blood coming out. >>reporter: within minutes the san francisco neighborhood was warming with officers, but it's not the only crime scene. officers had tracked the

suspects. streets still blocked off in the area as investigators from all over the bay area tracked down their suspect. >> in the middle of this manhunt we have the officer just down the street at san francisco general hospital undergoing surgery as we speak. the chief says it's a miracle that he survived this close range shot. he credits the fast response by the fire department and other officers for saving this officer's life. >> our crew just got back from that hospital, and the police chief gave this update on the officer's condition. >> he was stabilized and conscious before taken into surgery to repair a vascular injury to his left shoulder, but he should be okay.

. >> weep keep posting updates on twitter, facebook and the website. a malaysia airlines jet disappeared with 239 people onboard. it's been an intense and emotional wait for any information. the u.s. state department says three americans are among the 239 people missing. according to an unofficial passenger list, we have the names now. >>reporter: the search for malaysia flight continues. >> we're focusing on the area where we received the last

signal from the plane. >> the 239 people onboard seemingly vanishing into the pre-dawn sky, including three americans, one adult and two children. rescue crews following two large oil slicks near the gulf of thailand where they believe the plane may have gone into the water. >> the u.s. navy has agreed to assist in search operations. >> the vessel is a navy vessel that is sent out to help search. meanwhile family and friends of those onboard can do nothing but wait. >> some people are crying, some people checking information on their phones. there's nothing in these rooms except for water and bread. >> several agencies reporting that two of the passengers onboard may have been traveling

on stolen passports from italy and austria. >> more details. the deadly crash of another airline at san francisco also involved the 777, but pilot error was blamed on that accident that killed three people in july. you can see the pilot from the malaysia flight is featured on this video. police say they're seeing less crime in some areas, and we wanted to know why. crime has fallen in richmond in one year. >>reporter: the streets are a little quieter and saver thanks

to a myriad of things happening between the police and public. >> things are getting better. >>reporter: jose is the father of three and coaches a soccer team. he's never been the victim of a burglary, but has witnessed them. >> i do look after my neighbors. i do keep an eye. i have called the police on occasion. >>reporter: police say those kinds of calls are helping. communication is key for crime prevention. in addition to routine patrols, officers are passing out fliers

>>reporter: they also keep hiring new officers while avoiding layoffs. >> i think that also plays into it, the fact that we have officers on street and officers getting hired and still actively recruiting. >> i hope we get better, better than what it is right now. >> police know they have a long way to go, but they hope little things like this mixed in will continue the downward trend of crime for the rest of the year. oakland police are investigating a deadly car crash. the victim's family tells us it was a hit-and-run. it happened at about 11:30 this
