1 Dead, Suspect Sought in College Area OIS

Police officers shot and killed a suspect and arrested another while serving a warrant in the College area east of San Diego State University Thursday.?

A second suspect ran from the scene and prompted a door-to-door manhunt, a hospital lockdown and a warning the man may be armed with an AK-47. The suspects were wanted parolees at-large.

The second suspect was apprehended shortly after 3 p.m., according to assistant police chief Boyd Long. During his arrest the suspect had dirt and grass across his face and appeared exhausted.

Two people who possibly helped the suspects have barricaded themselves inside an apartment, according to police. Officials have surrounded the apartment containing what they believe to be a man and a woman. It is believed that they are armed and it is still considered a SWAT situation.

Police vehicles and motorcycles have closed Reservoir Drive and Alvarado Road to traffic in both directions.

Officers surrounded a vehicle parked along the 5000-block of Reservoir Drive while they searched for the second of the two suspects. Another person was arrested at the scene, but it is unclear what kind of involvement they had in the situation.

Aerial images from NBC?7 San Diego's helicopter showed officers near what appeared to be a red or maroon car parked with the driver's side door open outside the Villa Del Sol apartments.

Officers served a warrant at the location around 10:30 a.m. Officials say one suspect was shot by San Diego police and transported from the scene by ambulance. The man was later pronounced dead.

Officers scattered themselves throughout the area just south of Interstate 8 and Alvarado Hospital Medical Center. The hospital was placed on lockdown however the emergency room was still open officials said.

Investigators combed nearby canyons and conducted a door-to-door search for the suspect described by police as a heavy-set Hispanic man.

?It?s like they?re kind of waiting for something to happen,? said Will Leingang, who was watching police from his home up the hill from the Villa Del Sol apartments.

He said he didn?t hear any shots, but around 1:30 p.m. he heard a lot of commotion outside.

?Suddenly there was a ton of officers,? he said adding that there appeared to be five or six patrol cars on the road.

Dorian Mcwain, a resident of Villa del Sol, said he heard gunshots very close to his apartment and said he was asked to leave his residence by police.

?To wake up and have this transpire during a normal day is unreal,? he said. ?I?m used to red cups and the college students and the partying, but not gunshots."

A command post was set up in a parking lot near the hospital and San Diego Police Chief William Lansdowne was on scene as his officers prepared for a SWAT?situation.

Thursday was the first day of class for SDSU?students returning from the holiday break.
