SAN DIEGO — A police officer used a bullhorn to urge a man named Marcos to come out of a house on Epsilon Street just west of 41st Street.
The officer said, "We're not going anywhere. It has been a really long night. I'm worried about you. I haven't heard from you for a while.
"I need to hear from you. You need to talk to me. Your sister ... is really scared. What should I tell her? It's not fair to have your sister so worried about you."

Maybe “Marco” took his own life, which would be the best outcome for everyone.
House surounded in search for offercers killed
Sad,
Hoped San Diego would miss this stuff.
He's a murderer. Time for instant justice.
Closet locked. Burn the house down.
That is some seriously dreadful writing. As soon as I saw it, I started scrolling down to see how long before somebody commented. Freepers did not disappoint.
GMTA. Give him the same treatment that the LAPD gave to the SLA back in 1974. Flame broil the cop killer.
Tactics got a bit confused in the SLA case. Some of the gunfire “coming from the house” was actually coming THROUGH the house.
