SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – A lengthy SWAT standoff at a Pacific Beach apartment complex ended in the arrest of a man Monday morning.

San Diego Police officials at the scene told ABC 10News officers were called to the apartment building in the 1400 block of Grand Avenue just before 1 a.m. due to reports of a bullet fired through the front door of a unit from across the street.

When officers arrived at the unit to investigate, two people shut the door on officers and locked themselves in.

After about an hour, one of the people surrendered to police. That person told police a man was inside with drugs and a gun.

The man in the apartment refused to surrender, prompting a SWAT response and the closure of some nearby streets.

After several hours, the man was taken into police custody.

There is no word on whether the man surrendered or if the SWAT team entered the apartment to apprehend him.
