A shooting in the Clairemont neighborhood prompted the evacuation of a preschool and a response from San Diego police's SWAT team Thursday afternoon, the San Diego Police Department said.
Multiple witnesses called 911 at about 2 p.m. to report hearing gunshots near the intersection of Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Clairemont Drive. After searching the area, police found a shooting victim about a mile away, SDPD Lt. Shawn Takeuchi said. Apparently, the man had walked from the shooting site.
Witnesses told police they saw two other men with the shooting victim, prompting a manhunt for the suspects, Takeuchi said. Because there was a preschool nearby -- Northminter Preschool -- San Diego's tactical team was called in to assist in the search.
