Police: Man in California standoff shot, killed neighbor

By JULIE WATSON
Associated Press

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) -- Police say a man was shot and killed by a neighbor who holed up in his apartment with a woman and two children in suburban San Diego.

Chula Vista Capt. Lon Turner says police are negotiating with the suspect after the Thursday morning shooting they call a dispute among neighbors. Authorities earlier had seen a victim down in a parking area and have since been able to confirm the death.

Police began evacuating the 39-unit complex about four hours after the shooting. About 20 people have been evacuated.

Witnesses initially reported seeing a man with an AK-47 retreat into the apartment, but Turner says evidence recovered at the scene indicates another type of gun.
