An officer on a roof fires on a suspect who had taken a woman hostage next door in a home on Viacha Drive in San Diego early Saturday morning. The hostage was successfully rescued by the San Diego Police Department. No one was injured. The residents didn’t appear to be wounded and were being interviewed by investigators Saturday morning.
A man by the same name was arrested in June 2018 on a misdemeanor trespassing citation after he was found in a training room on Naval Base San Diego, according to federal court records. He allegedly told a housekeeper who confronted him that he was hiding out because people were trying to kill him. He then fled up a stairwell and was found by military police in a trash closet.
