Man Suspected of Shooting SDPD Officer in Custody After Car Chase, Mountain View SWAT Standoff
A SWAT standoff ended Monday morning with a man accused of shooting a police officer in custody, authorities said.
The incident began sometime before 12:30 a.m. Monday when the San Diego Police Department started following a vehicle that was reported stolen, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSO). After a lengthy chase, the driver ditched the vehicle near the intersection of 45th Street and Logan Avenue in the Mountain View neighborhood, where the driver then opened fire on officers using a ghost gun — striking one officer multiple times. Officials said later in the day that officers did not return fire at that time.
