Seven San Antonio police officers were shot by a suicidal man when they went to help.
SWAT arrived on the scene after all the officers had been shot by the suspect, San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus said.
The suspect was later found dead inside an apartment after an hours-long standoff on the city’s north side. McManus said it is not known if the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot or if he died by SWAT gunfire.
The unidentified suspect had three arrests on Jan. 18, McManus told reporters early Thursday morning on the scene, “two for assault of offenses and one for DWI.”
The suspect was out on bond when the officer-involved shooting occurred at the Sonterra Heights apartment complex in the 18700 block of Stone Oak Parkway, police said.
The incident began just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, KABB FOX 29 San Antonio reports.
