San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has requested a gun restraining order against a man accused of firing blank rounds in a Jewish synagogue in the city's Richmond District.
If permitted, the gun violence restraining order, also known as a GVRO, would permanently ban 51-year-old Dmitri Mishin from possessing or purchasing firearms.
Investigators also linked Mishin to a gun-related incident that occurred a day before the synagogue shooting at the Balboa Theater, a movie theater located a few blocks away in the 3600 block of Balboa Street. Workers said a man entered the theater and brandished a handgun on Jan. 31. Since San Francisco has permitted GVROs in 2019, the city has removed firearms and ammunition from 47 residents in cases related to domestic violence, suicide ideation and road rage.
