A suspect was taken into custody following a shooting investigation that prompted a shelter-in-place order in San Mateo on Thursday evening, police said.
Police released the name of the suspect Saturday as 34-year-old Brittany Stewart of Ceres.
Just before 5 p.m., San Mateo police said they received reports of a shooting in the area of Hillsdale Boulevard and Norfolk Street. They said that a suspect likely fled into an apartment in the area. This promoted authorities to put a shelter-in-place order in the neighborhood.
San Mateo police said that the shooting victim was later located in San Carlos. Police initially told NBC Bay Area there were two victims.
The victim was taken to a local trauma center for care. Their condition was not known.
Police added that officers were able to locate the apartment the suspect had fled to and was able to negotiate a surrender. The suspect was taken into custody.
The shelter-in-place order was lifted at about 7:30 p.m. But San Mateo police said their officers remained on scene as they continued to investigate.
No other information was immediately available.
