A man apparently fired a gun in a Costco parking lot in Mission Valley Tuesday night, San Diego police said.

Police said the gun may have gone off accidentally and that the man possibly got into a white SUV that was driven away.

A security guard called police about 6:20 p.m. to report hearing a gunshot in the parking lot at Friars Road and Fenton Parkway. Officers did not find any victims when they arrived, and no one had turned up at a hospital with a gunshot wound, Buttle said.

Officers later found a shell casing in the parking lot, Buttle said.


Police were looking at video from Costco’s surveillance cameras to determine what transpired, Buttle said.
