SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Powell Street Muni Metro Station in San Francisco was shut down for several hours after a man was hit and killed by a train.
Police say the man was hit and killed by an outbound train at the Powell Street Station at about 2:40 p.m.
Moments after this all happened, we were able to talk with a few people who say they knew the man who was killed. They say he is homeless and stored his backpack under the Muni platform along with other people.
Multiple people have told us the man did not commit suicide, but instead was trying to get to his backpack when he was hit by the train.
Police say paramedics quickly arrived, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
