A San Diego police officer shot in the torso following a high speed pursuit Sunday morning is expected to survive, according to the San Diego Police Department.

The officer, a five-year veteran of the force, is "talking, smiling, and in very good spirits" in the hospital, SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman said at a press conference. She said the officer sustained at least one gunshot wound. 

"She appreciates everybody's concern about her well being," Zimmerman added. 

The incident started as a high speed pursuit, when a silver Jeep heading southbound on State Route 163 did not yield to lights and sirens while driving over 65 miles per hour, Lt. Mike Hastings said. 

The car was later abandoned and the incident turned into a foot pursuit, where the man being chased showed a gun and began firing near Highway 163 at Health Center Drive, Hastings said. 

The officer, who hasn't been identified, was shot in her upper body. Initial reports said the officer was shot in the neck.

Two other SDPD officers shot the suspect, Hastings said, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not released his name but say he may be related to a series of shootings at buildings. 

Hastings said there may be police body camera video of the incident, though it was unclear whether that video would come from the officer that was wounded or another officer at the scene. The wounded officer was field training officer and had a trainee with her at the time of the incident. 

The name of the officer and suspect will be released when family have been notified. 

The surrounding area will be closed for at least six hours as officials investigate.

Neighbors in the area reported hearing gunshots outside their houses and could see the officer on the ground.

Dozens of emergency responders were on scene, including fire, paramedic and police officials, in addition to a helicopter circling overhead. SWAT is there as a preliminary and precautionary measure, police said.

The north entrance of Sharp Memorial Hospital is currently closed due to police activity near Health Center Drive. The Frost Street entrance remains open. Both Sharp Memorial Hospital and Sharp Mary Birch Hospital were on lockdown as a precaution in the morning.
