9:20pm update: BART Police has taken into custody a suspect following a shooting that occurred at the Civic Center station. A victim has been transported to the hospital. The station is closed. Riders can use Muni for free. Trains are not yet allowed to run through the station.

Trains are still running transbay but are not allowed through Civic Center right now. Riders can use our Trip Planner to find transit alternatives during this closure. Enter your starting and ending address/location and results will show you real time Muni+BART trips.

Thank you to our BART Police officers for their swift response in immediately taking this suspect into custody and helping the victim. BART Police are assigned full time to Civic Center to offer a continuous presence.

BART police had multiple officers at Civic Center when the shooting occurred. Additionally 2 officers assigned to ride trains had just stepped off a train at Civic when the shooting occurred and helped take the suspect into custody.

10pm Update. Civic Center remains closed. Trains are currently turning back at Powell and 16th street. We expect police to allow trains to run through the station shortly. We will update you here when they do. Police techs are currently processing evidence.

If coming from the @ChaseCenter for the @warriors game, take @sfmta_muni to Embarcadero if you need to go to the East Bay. Trains are still running transbay. But Civic Center is closed.

10:35am Update: East Bay bound riders arriving at 16th street station can take MUNI buses 14 and 49 to get to Powell. MUNI will accept BART tickets as fare.
We hope to have trains running through in about 30 minutes.

Thank you @sfmta_muni for offering free rides to BART riders tonight as Civic Center remains closed and many transbay Warriors fan headed to 16th street. Our systems coordinate during critical incidents to help get people where they need to go without relying on a car.

11:20pm update: trains are now running through Civic Center without stopping. The station will remain closed for the evening but will reopen at normal time tomorrow morning.
This is the final update.
