A man fired a gun into the ground and out of a window at a Chula Vista home Friday, prompting a SWAT standoff, after police arrived there on a request to check on his welfare.
The gunfire erupted shortly after 12:30 p.m. Friday in the 500 block of D Street, near Fifth Avenue, according to the Chula Vista Police Department.
There were no reports of injuries, and the shooter -- described as a shirtless man in his early 40s -- did not appear to be targeting officers or anyone else with the rounds, according to a CVPD statement.
After the man ignored repeated orders to exit the home and surrender, special weapons and tactics personnel were sent in, police said.
