Two people were found dead in an apartment in the Del Cerro neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon after an hour-long SWAT standoff. <\/p>\n
San Diego Police said they received a call Tuesday to the 5700 block of College Avenue after a neighbor reported hearing possible gunshots around 2:30 p.m. Officers checked the area but found nothing suspicious. On Wednesday, San Diego Police said they returned to the same apartment to conduct a welfare check after a relative called to say their family member was not responding to phone calls and didn’t show up to work, which was unusual. <\/p>\n
Officers then forced entry into the home and found a 47-year-old woman dead, police said. After searching the rest of the home, they encountered a closed bedroom door and, “based on what they knew at the scene,” believed an armed person might be barricaded inside. <\/p>\n
The officers exited the home, and that is when a SWAT standoff ensued. After several hours and no response, officers entered the bedroom and found a 40-year-old man dead, SDPD said. <\/p>\n
Detectives from the San Diego Police Department\u2019s Homicide Unit are investigating. <\/p>\n
Investigators will work with the San Diego County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office to determine the cause and manner of death for both people.<\/p>\n
The names of the deceased are being withheld until their families have been notified.<\/p>\n
