A hourslong SWAT standoff at a north Sacramento apartment complex ended Friday afternoon with nobody in custody, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.The sheriff’s office was called to an apartment complex in the 3500 block of Morse Avenue around 7 a.m. Friday to investigate reports of someone firing a BB gun. When they arrived, deputies found evidence that a real gun had been fired.A neighbor told KCRA that she heard gunshots around 6:30 a.m., followed by a woman screaming and then more gunshots.“I heard gunshots, about maybe 10 to 15 gunshots. And then I came outside to look, didn't see nothing,” the woman said. “(I) went back in. Couple minutes later, heard a woman yelling -- something about her son. So, I just stayed in the house. Then, a couple minutes later, I heard some more gunshots, about 5 to 10 shots, and I heard glass breaking.”A woman was taken to the hospital after suffering injuries that were not the result of a gunshot, the Sheriff’s Office said. She is expected to survive.Deputies evacuated the apartment complex for several hours while SWAT tried to coax a person out of one of the units. People were allowed to return home by 4:45 p.m.A sheriff’s department tactical vehicle was brought in to tow a black car from the scene. A robot could also be seen positioned at the front door to the apartment unit. Two loud bangs could be heard from that direction before SWAT members eventually entered the unit.SWAT officers searched two apartments sometime before 2:30 p.m. and did not find the suspect. The sheriff’s office said it’s possible the suspect fled the area before deputies arrived at the scene.No other information was released.
