SAN ANTONIO – Two police officers were shot on the West Side, and a suspect was killed, according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
The shooting happened just after 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday in the 6800 block of U.S. Highway 90 westbound near Military Drive.
McManus said that a woman had called 911, whispering before the call was disconnected.
The suspect — who was involved in the 911 call made by the woman — was taunting an officer as well as a cadet from the other side of a fence at a motel parking lot.
The officer and the cadet were already at the location before the 911 call, McManus said. However, they ignored the taunting.
It’s not immediately clear why the officer and the cadet were already at the location.
Watch below to find out the latest on the shooting:
McManus said the suspect was walking around a building, and at some point, he came out and told the officer and the cadet, “I’m not going back to prison; I’m not going back to jail.”
The suspect started running and eventually pulled out a gun from his waist. SAPD said that three officers and the suspect exchanged gunfire.
As the suspect pulled out the gun, McManus said that one of the officers jumped on him.
According to McManus, the suspect was shot and killed in the parking lot.
Two officers were shot in the arm. They were hospitalized and are expected to be OK, McManus said. One of the officers shot was also hit in another part of his body.
The cadet did not fire any gunshots and was not injured.
McManus said the average years of service for the officers involved in the shooting is between five and six years.
