SAN ANTONIO – The wife of a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy was arrested Thursday night after she shot at him with his firearm, San Antonio police said.

According to a preliminary report, officers responded to a call for a shooting around 11:15 p.m. in the 70 block of Autumn Pass.

The unidentified deputy told officers that he and his wife, Mallory Tristan, got into an argument when he arrived home.

The argument escalated, and that’s when Tristan tried to gain control of the deputy’s handgun, the report said.

While the deputy tried to maintain possession of his firearm, Tristan began to strangle him and eventually got control of the firearm, the report said.

The deputy then ran outside but Tristan closed the door and opened fire once, the report said. The deputy was not injured and Tristan was taken into custody on charges of assault and for firing a gun in a heavily populated place.
