The complex is under the airport's approach path, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said. Departures are being allowed, but flights can't land.

The suspected gunman has reportedly barricaded himself in a nearby apartment in San Diego's Bankers Hill neighborhood and is said to be shooting at police with a long-range sniper rifle. So far, no one has been reported hurt.

SWAT and hostage negotiators are reportedly on the scene to try to end the standoff. Authorities are asking people in the area to stay inside and away from windows.

Officers responding to a domestic violence call heard gunshots at the complex shortly after 9 a.m., according to Lt. Scott Wahl.

Reporters on the scene say gunshots could be heard:
