Ian Gregor with the Federal Aviation Administration said planes are not being allowed to land at Lindbergh Field because arriving planes would have to fly over the shooter’s apartment to land. Rebecca Bloomfield with the San Diego Airport Authority said that departures were not affected because they takeoff in a different direction She said anyone with a flight, or plans to pick up friends or family should call their particular airline.

SWAT officers flooded the area, shutting down streets and trying to isolate the gunman. Residents were told to shelter in place.

At one point the gunman was shooting east out of the building toward Albatross Street, so residents in an apartment complex on that street were also advised to stay inside, Wahl said.

"He's been actively shooting, sporadically," Wahl said. He said officers do not think the man has taken any hostages and that the woman involved in the domestic-violence call was "safely with us."

Police said the gunman was described as black, 32, 5 feet 11 inches, about 290 pounds with black hair.

Full ground stop in effect until the all clear - no departing flights. Reports of tear gas being deployed and complaints from the shooter that his throat is burning. — from Twitter.

My favorite cop-speak — as told by my mother-in-law from her days as a prosecuting attorney in Miami. Perp was apparently sexually abusing a pigeon (yes, a pigeon!) in the men’s room of a public park.

The police report included this gem:

The pigeon fled the scene.
