SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) – A woman who barricaded herself inside a San Ysidro home Monday morning, prompting a lockdown at a nearby elementary school, surrendered to authorities after a standoff that lasted over six hours.
San Diego Police said a SWAT unit and negotiators were called to the 200 block of Avenida De La Madrid “due to an armed & barricaded suspect inside a home.”
Police told ABC 10News the incident began at around 6:30 a.m. after a family called police regarding a family member behaving aggressively.
La Mirada Elementary, located several yards away on 222 Avenida De La Madrid, was placed on a “secured lockdown” due to the police response.
Classes at the school continued as normal, but no one was allowed to enter or exit the school grounds while the lockdown was in place.
Police tweeted just after 10 a.m.: “When students are released, parents can meet their children at 179 Diza Street at the Colonel Salomon Community Activity Center.”
At around 1:15 p.m., the woman -- who was not identified — finally exited the home and surrendered.
