US: Police confirm no further threat to public after shootings kill two people, injure officer in Little Italy, San Diego, California, Nov. 13

Police have asserted that there is no further threat to the community after two shootings in San Diego's Little Italy area killed two people and wounded a law enforcement officer on the morning of Nov. 13. The first shooting, which reportedly occurred at around 08:20, killed two people in the vicinity of West Ash Street and Union Street. The second shooting, which occurred about an hour later when Harbor Patrol officers located and engaged the suspect, injured one officer and the assailant near the intersection of West Juniper Street and Kettner Boulevard.

Authorities will almost certainly maintain an increased security presence around the two scenes until they complete their investigative work at the shooting sites. Officials may close local roads on short notice. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely.
