Narrative:

While commencing approach into sfo in aircraft abcd as first officer with air carrier flight xyz, B737-300, we experienced a loud fluttering sound coming from #2 right engine. Engine indications showed no (zero) fuel flow into #2 engine. Decision was made to secure engine and use quick reference checklist. Decision to shut down #2 engine based on clear VMC day, good visibility, and close proximity to airport (over bridge FAF sfo runway 28R). Quick reference checklist stated to pull fire handle, which isolates hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, etc, therefore preventing possible fire. Emergency was declared and fire equipment was on stand-by and followed to gate for possible fire after landing. After landing on runway 28R we taxied to the gate without further incident. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter indicated that maintenance found a failed high pressure engine driven fuel pump. He commended the handling by sfo tower controllers and the service given by the sfo crash fire rescue equipment.
