Woman in custody after shooting in California marathon

LOS ANGELES, June 04 (AFP): A woman opened fire in downtown San Diego and was taken into custody Sunday as thousands of people participated in the California city's marathon nearby.

As officers responded, a policeman was injured by an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the leg, the San Diego Police Department said in a statement. There were no immediate reports of anyone else being hurt. Witnesses said they heard four or five shots coming from a parking structure near the finish line of the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, according to the local CBS and NBC television affiliates. "There's no longer a threat to the community.

The scene is secure. The Rock and Roll Marathon has resumed," police said in a tweet.
