San Diego police closed both directions of Friars Road between Sea World Drive and Napa Street in the Morena area for an investigation following a deadly police shooting on Wednesday afternoon.
Around 3:30 p.m., at least one San Diego Police Department officer opened fire, and someone is dead.
“Please avoid the area and use alternate routes while the response continue,” San Diego Police Department wrote on X at around 4 p.m.
Video from the scene shows a person laying in the street on the south side of Friars Road, blocked off by yellow police tape, and a pair of scissors on the ground not far from them.
SkyRanger 7 flew overhead the scene, where an ambulance and a fire truck had arrived on the scene and emergency personnel had taken a stretcher out.
By the side of the scene, SDPD appeared to be interviewing two witnessess.
No other details were immediately available.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department will be taking over the investigation. San Diego County law enforcement agencies have a memorandum of understanding that prevents departments from investigating shootings involving their own officers.
NBC 7 has a crew headed to the scene. This is a developing story. Details may change as more information arrives.
