SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Residents on a street in the Mountain View neighborhood were told to find shelter after a barricaded man allegedly fired shots at San Diego Police officers during an hours-long SWAT standoff Sunday.

According to the San Diego Police Department, officers received a call around 8:30 a.m. about a man firing off a gun in the 4500 block of T Street.

Initial reports said the suspect fired off a gun and threatened neighbors, Lt. Adam Sharki said.

A SWAT team and emergency negotiators were called to the scene after officers say the man refused to come outside. No injuries have been reported at this time.

"Obviously it’s still a very dangerous situation we’re still trying to deescalate and get this person to come out peacefully," said Lt. Sharki at the scene Sunday.

ABC 10News observed police using several non-lethal tactics to coax the suspect out of his home. By 11 p.m. on Sunday evening, the suspect was still barricaded and police had not returned any fire.

"Preservation of life for the public and for the officers and also for the suspect...that’s a priority for us," said Lt. Sharki.

This is a developing story and it will be updated as more information becomes available.
