A SWAT team was called to the San Diego neighborhood of Palm City in the South Bay early Friday after a woman shot a tow-truck driver trying to repossess her vehicle, San Diego police said.
San Diego police said a woman and a few others confronted the tow truck driver who was attempting to remove her vehicle near the intersection of Palm Avenue and Hollister Drive at about 1 a.m., a San Diego police spokesperson said.
The woman pulled out a gun and shot the driver at least once in the arm, SDPD said. The driver was taken to the hospital and expected to survive.
The group was believed to have retreated into the nearby Pacific Point apartment complex, prompting police to surround the building and call a SWAT team to respond.

After several hours, officers made their way inside two apartments and searched the units. No one was inside and the SWAT standoff was called off, SDPD said.
SDPD says they are still searching for the woman. No description was immediately available.
