LAKESIDE, Calif. (KGTV) — San Diego Sheriff's deputies fired a single shot at a man during an arrest in a Lakeside neighborhood Wednesday morning, though no one was injured in the incident.
Deputies were initially called to a home on Briette Place around 10:30 a.m. to check on a man following reports of a drug overdose, according to San Diego police. When they arrived, the man was not at the home.
Deputies later located the man about a block away on Tiffany Park Place and Pinkard Lane. The man told deputies he was armed with a gun and was instructed to keep his hands in sight, according to the sheriff's office.
When the man failed to comply and reached into his waistband, deputies fired a single round that missed the man. After a brief altercation, he was taken into custody.
Diane Uda, a Lakeside resident who lives around the corner from where the incident occurred, called the shooting "shocking."
Residents in the area describe it as a typically safe neighborhood full of families, making Wednesday's incident unusual for the community.
The San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit has taken over the investigation of the deputy-involved shooting.
This is a developing story. ABC 10News has sent a crew to the area to gather more information.
