UPDATE 5:46 p.m. EDT: One of the suspects was playing with an airsoft pistol, which prompted the incident to be investigated, NBC San Diego reported.

"He was actually firing shots of the air soft pistol out of the window toward a mirror in the parking lot," Base Commanding Officer Scott Adams told the station.

The shots caused a tenant at the base to call authorities. Once the suspect realized NCIS was mobilized in response, he and a friend called their commanding officer. The two were then arrested and taken into custody.

UPDATE 3:57 p.m. EDT: Two suspects are in custody in connection with the incident, according to KPBS.
