People who live at the Timber Creek apartments still have not forgotten the morning of January 9, when a neighbor engaged in a gun battle with police. SAPD recently released video of the incident.

The San Antonio Police Department released body-worn camera footage from a gun battle between SWAT and an ex-BCSO deputy.

A former Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputy was identified as the suspect who fired multiple rounds both inside and outside a far West Side apartment before he was shot by a San Antonio police officer on Tuesday, according to police.
