    City officials took steps Saturday to prevent violence ahead of an expected news conference by a right-wing group at a San Francisco park.

    But hours before the event was set to occur, the organizer said it would be moved indoors.

    Joey Gibson of the group Patriot Prayer did not provide a location or further details. He also said in a Facebook post that he would pop up at random sites throughout the city to speak with residents.
