SAN FRANCISCO – A man suspected in a shooting in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood last month that wounded a 57-year-old woman has been arrested, police said.

According to officers, the victim was wounded in a shooting that took place on the 0-100 block of McAllister Street on the morning of July 6. Officers rendered aid to the woman, and medics were summoned to the scene.
