Standoff with gunman stops arriving flights (SAN DIEGO)
SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE ^ | November 4, 2015 (updated 11:48 PDT) | Several

Posted on 11/04/2015 12:40:01 PM PST by onyx





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.

I know this area very well.
The older homes were replaced with high rise apartments. NOT too high, due to the short path that requires low landings at Lindberg

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

Well, I’m shocked, I tell you I am simply shocked at the revelation! The LIndberg glideslope is non-standard. It’s way steeper than normal to provide clearance for the buldings on the approach corridor. I mean you can wave to the folks in the top rooms of the El Cortez Hotel as you land there!

If the cops shoot him there will probably be more riots.

The cops should be gentle,get some ice cream,and talk him down./s

Have to say "active shooter." Then you can modify the subject.

Copspeak.

You’re right about that! You really *are*!

I’m a born and raised 3rd generation of San Diego, so I really do know about San Diego and Lindberg Field.

In fact, my parents would never bother to check whether my flights were on time. They’d just watch from their living room window to read the name of the airliner and then head off to Lindberg to get me. I could almost always spot our rooftop.

Put three holes in him and he’ll look just like a bowling ball.

Sporadically "actively shooting," I think.

What "non-actively shooting" would be, I don't know.

Probably having a gun. So to the cops, ALL gun owners are "non-active shooters" at all times.

See, there's always a purpose behind this crap.
