A SWAT standoff at a San Marcos home ended early Monday when a suspect was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The 54-year-old man, who was wanted in connection with an attempted murder incident in Carlsbad, had holed up inside the home in the 1000 block of Brightwood Drive in the San Elijo Hills neighborhood, San Diego Sheriff‘s spokesman Ryan Keim told reporters at the scene.
Deputies attempted to contact the suspect Sunday night, and a SWAT team was summoned to the scene.
A gunshot was heard, and a woman who was also inside the home left.
Deputies then sent a robot into the home and found the suspect dead around 1:30 a.m., according to the sheriff’s department.
