An argument between the man and woman, who know each other but are not a couple, led to a shooting, police said.

The victim, who was shot in the head, told officers the man who fired, also in his mid-30s, at her was still inside the home, SAPD said.

SWAT negotiators were called to the location to try to lure the suspect out. In the process, a woman and two men came out of the home and were detained, according to SAPD.

Officers believe the suspect is still in the home and was not part of the detained ground, and negotiators are still working to get him out.

SAPD said SWAT is being cautious because they believe there are firearms still inside the home. Streets have been shut down in the area as they work to extract the suspect.
