NATIONAL CITY
A natural gas leak prompted the evacuation of about 75 homes and a shopping center for nearly nine hours Tuesday in National City, officials said.
Authorities also evacuated a nearby elementary school that was about to let out for the day, rerouting parents to a different location to pick up their children, according to Frank Parra, chief of emergency services with the National City Fire Department.
The leak began about 10:30 a.m. and continued until San Diego Gas & Electric crews were able to shut off the line a little after 7 p.m., Parra said. No injuries from the leak were reported.
