Several streets and a highway on-ramp in Spring Valley were temporarily closed on Monday afternoon due to a SWAT standoff at a motel.

 

San Diego Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about a stabbing around 11 a.m. in the 9600 block of Campo Road.

When they arrived, they found a man with minor stab wounds to his hand, and a suspect had barricaded themselves inside a motel room, as reported by SDSO in a tweet.

The Rancho San Diego Sheriff's station and the Lemon Grove Sheriff's substation initially responded to a call about a stabbing shortly after 11 a.m.

A man was taken to the hospital with minor hand injuries. The suspect refused to come out of the motel room at that time.

 

A Crisis Negotiation Team was called to try to peacefully resolve the standoff. Just after 3 p.m., about four hours after the SWAT standoff began, the suspect was taken into custody, according to SDSO.
