SWAT Standoff Shuts Down Bankers Hill Streets

A SWAT team shut down streets in Bankers Hill as a standoff at an apartment complex unfolded Friday night, San Diego Police say.

Police were responding to reports of shots fired before 10 p.m.

The area between Redwood Street, Spruce Street, Front Street and 1st Avenue were blocked off as the SWAT team and police officers moved in.

A crisis negotiation team soon arrived at the scene.

A resident said she saw one police car and then heard sirens. When she walked over to investigate, officers told her to go back to her home.

"It didn't seem like they were overly excited at that point," said Julie Merry. "But then more and more cops started turning up and SWAT teams and people with rifles, and so it was like, OK, we're going home now."

Just after 1 a.m., an NBC 7 viewer said SWAT officials were still on scene and a helicopter was circling the area.

On Saturday, police confirmed the standoff had been resolved, but did not offer further details. Police said no arrests were made, though a person of interest was questioned.
