San Diego police SWAT team members surround 'contained' gunman
Police say the man has a high-powered rifle
San Diego police SWAT team members surrounded an apartment on Wednesday where they said a man armed with a high-powered rifle was “contained” after shooting at officers responding to a domestic incident.
San Diego International Airport nearby put a hold on all arriving flights while the situation unfolded at a home in the Bankers Hill neighborhood, directly east of its runways.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
“We have him contained. The officers were able to safely retreat and set up a perimeter around the apartment,” San Diego Police Department spokesman Lieutenant Scott Wahl told reporters at the scene in footage broadcast by CNN.
