San Francisco clerk ‘stood his ground’ before losing his life to store thief: Drew Min

Drew Min, a family friend of Yowhannes Tewolde, joins ‘Fox & Friends First’ to share the tragic story of how the local store clerk was killed while trying to defend the shop from a thief.

A large sinkhole opened up on a San Francisco street intersection Monday following a ruptured water main break.  

Crews were working to repair the hole Monday afternoon on Fillmore and Green streets, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission stated on social media.

The sinkhole came after a 16-inch water main broke in the early morning hours. The break also impacted an 8-inch water main as well, officials said. 

Authorities said crews with Pacific Gas and Electric crews were called in to assist in the safe removal of the slab covering the gas line.
