SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A Missouri woman involved in a deadly police shooting and SWAT standoff in Pacific Beach will have to wait to be arraigned.

CBS News 8 has been told that a medical issue with Janie Sanders postponed her hearing scheduled for Friday morning.

Sanders claims to be the wife of Timothy Smith, 47, who was shot after a confrontation with police in Pacific Beach on Wednesday, November 4. 

Sanders, 32, was arrested later that same night after barricading herself in a Pacific Beach apartment in the 3900 block of Ingraham Street. She claimed to be Smith's wife after her arrest, but the relation between the two is unclear at this point.
