UPDATED:

A woman fired off rounds in a parking structure in downtown San Diego Sunday morning and police at the scene said they had a suspect in custody.

“There is no longer a threat to the community. The scene is secure. The Rock and Roll Marathon has resumed,” police said in a statement.

The incident began as a call about a misdemeanor hit-and-run incident around 10:50 a.m., said San Diego police Sgt. Tom Sullivan.

It’s unclear when the shooting started, but police said about 11:40 a.m., the woman had slid underneath a parked car on the 8th floor of the San Diego Concourse parking structure at 100 W. C Street and was holding a gun to her face.

Soon after, police at the scene said the woman was taken into custody.

Several media outlets reported an officer accidentally shot himself during the incident and was taken a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening.

A number of streets surrounding the parking structure were shut down as patrol officers descended on the area.

The area between B and C streets and First and Front were blocked to all non-emergency traffic. By 12:20 p.m., traffic was open on Broadway and being hand-directed by police.

The incident was close to the finish line of the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. Several runners said they had already completed the race before the incident and their run was not interrupted.

No other details were immediately available.
