SAN DIEGO (AP) – The latest on an active shooter at a San Diego apartment complex (all times local):
2 p.m.
A neighbor of a gunman firing off shots inside a San Diego apartment complex says he heard a bang and then spotted a hole in the stucco wall that separates his apartment from the suspect’s.
Tom Neu told reporters that he cowered in his bathtub, talking to friends and co-workers on his cellphone as SWAT team members swarmed the building. The officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect after responding to a domestic violence call Wednesday morning.
Lt. Scott Wahl says no one has been reported hurt. It’s unknown if anyone is inside the apartment besides the suspect.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says flights are being barred from landing at the nearby San Diego International Airport as a precaution.
Rescuers led Neu out of the complex.
