It was 3 p.m., and Bologna was nearly home when he was forced to stop, facing south, on narrow Congdon Street in the Excelsior district.
When he did that, he blocked the path of a car that was trying to turn north onto Congdon from Maynard Street, police said Monday. It was a gray-green or gray-blue Chrysler 300M with as many as three people inside.
The driver stared him down. Bologna soon put his Honda Civic into reverse to try to let the other car go by.
"The driver started giving Tony dirty looks, so Tony drove back," said Lt. Mike Stasko, who heads the police homicide detail and coached youth basketball with Bologna. "The man drove alongside him and started shooting.
"If Tony never backed up, they would still be nose to nose," Stasko said, drawing a map and showing how the two cars had been facing each other, each unable to pass. "He backed up to let the guy complete the turn. (The gunman) opened fire without saying anything."
Bologna was killed on the spot, as was his eldest son, 20-year-old Michael Bologna, who had been a star athlete at Lincoln High School in San Francisco and was attending the College of San Mateo, playing basketball and baseball.
Tony's youngest son, 16-year-old Matthew, was in the car's back seat and was shot several times. He was in critical but stable condition Monday at San Francisco General Hospital.

The killers' car was last seen heading north on Congdon. Police have no good description of the people who were in it, but say a similar Chrysler 300 was seen at another shooting earlier in the day. They are investigating whether the same people were involved in shootings that killed Tony and Michael Bologna. (more at link)
