The shooting happened around 5 p.m. on June 16 at an apartment complex near the 12000 block of Jones Maltsberger Road.
Four SWAT officers attempted to arrest Pena for an active felony warrant, according to an SAPD preliminary report.
The warrant was for the prohibited weapons charge, which stemmed from an incident on June 15.
When officers approached Pena, SAPD said that he pulled out a gun.
A SWAT officer and Pena were both shot, police said. They were taken to a local hospital for further treatment, SAPD stated.
San Antonio Police Chief McManus previously said he doesn’t believe either suffered life-threatening injuries.
SAPD identified the SWAT officer who was shot as Adel Mokrane. Police said Mokrane has been with the department for nine years.
Three other officers, identified as Nathan Bundy, Jose Sahagun and Brandon Pratt also shot back at Pena, according to police.
The officer’s years of service with the San Antonio Police Department range from eight to nine years.
As of Wednesday morning, Pena remains behind bars. Both charges combined for a total bond of $325,000, jail records show.
