SAN DIEGO — A SWAT team arrested a man who was holed up for more than 5 hours in a Pacific Beach apartment complex in the 1400 block of Grand Avenue for hours Monday morning, police said.
SWAT teams were called to the scene and surrounded the apartment at about 1 a.m. after a neighbor in the area heard a gunshot.
The standoff lasted about 5 and a half hours.
A gunshot was fired through the front door of an apartment from across the street at about 1 a.m. Monday, Lt. Adam Sharki of the San Diego Police Department said.
The apartment resident dropped to the floor and called the police. One person came out of the apartment saying he didn't want to be involved. The person told police a man was inside trying to hide a gun and drugs.
The suspect initially refused to surrender and a SWAT team was called to the scene.
SDPD says a suspect has been identified as Cesar Manuel Sandoval, 31.
The cause of the standoff is unknown and is under investigation.
