Person in Custody After Active Shooter Incident Reported Near San Diego Marathon: Source

San Diego police will be briefing the media on the investigation into the shooting in downtown San Diego.

Shots fired near a downtown San Diego parking garage interrupted a marathon with thousands of runners and spectators Sunday afternoon.

A woman with an airsoft gun was taken into custody nearly an hour after the first reports of shots and a San Diego police officer was hospitalized with what has been described as a self-inflicted wound. 

The first report of multiple shots fired came in at approximately 11:20 a.m. 

The suspect was at the City Hall Parkade approximately two blocks from the finish line of the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon. 

At 11:45 a.m., the course was shut down and close to 5,000 athletes were moved to a designated “safe zone,” according to race officials.

Tens of thousands of runners were participating in the marathon that runs from State Route 163 along B Street and ends at Union Street. 

As of 12 p.m., the marathon had resumed with police declaring the scene safe.

The parking garage involved in the incident has been closed for cars going in and out, leaving some who ran the race or cheered on the runners stranded.

Broadway San Diego said the Sunday afternoon production of Les Miserables at the nearby Civic Theatre will go on as planned. 

Dick Geiss was outside the theatre with eight family members as they were gathering to see the performance. 

“While we were sitting there all these sirens were going off and we asked the server, ‘Is this normal?'”, Geiss said. “I grew up in Chicago and it was never like this in downtown Chicago so we knew something was going on.” 

Race officials said they will be communicating with the athletes on how the stoppage will affect their times.
