Police say the suspect doused a home in gasoline Thursday night, threatening to set it on fire. He eventually gave himself up.
SAN ANTONIO — Two San Antonio police officers were shot and hospitalized after responding to a domestic disturbance call where the suspect threatened to set a home on fire, authorities said.
Other law enforcement eventually arrived and were able to rescue both officers – one of whom has been with SAPD for two years, the other for seven – before the suspect eventually surrendered, McManus said. "The officers were very, very lucky they weren't killed," the chief added."Officers don't know what they're going to encounter when they're out there, and officers' actions are predicated on the actions of the person that they're dealing ."
About 20 SAPD units could be seen overhead from Chopper 5 around 7:45 p.m. Witnesses described to KENS hearing at least 50 gunshots from along the 6200 block of Alta Puerta, where police eventually responded. McManus said the suspect is expected to be charged with attempted capital murder, adding he doesn't have a criminal history in Bexar County.
