SAN ANTONIO — During a response to a reported “suicide in progress,” four police officers from San Antonio were shot on Wednesday night while attempting to apprehend the suspect. A significant law enforcement presence was observed at a nearby apartment complex as authorities worked to detain the individual involved in the incident.

According to San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus, the injuries sustained by the officers are not expected to be life-threatening. He identified the suspect as a man in his 40s, with initial reports indicating that a family member had made the call to authorities about the situation.

Over an hour after the shooting occurred, McManus reported that SWAT teams were being deployed to the Stone Oak area as efforts to bring the suspect into custody continued. “We are currently devising a strategy to safely extract the shooter,” McManus stated.

The four injured officers, each with varying years of experience ranging from four to eight years, were promptly taken to a hospital for treatment. McManus detailed that one officer sustained a gunshot wound to the lower body, while another was hit in the upper torso. However, he did not provide additional information regarding the injuries of the other two officers involved in the shooting.
