Summary
A San Antonio SWAT officer was shot in the leg and a suspect was hit multiple times during a 5 p.m. exchange of gunfire while officers served a felony warrant on the city’s North Side.
Police Chief William McManus said the suspect opened fire as SWAT tried to take him into custody in a parking lot on the 12300 block of Jones Maltsberger Road near Starcrest Drive, prompting four officers to return fire.
EMS took both men to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries; the suspect is believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s.
Authorities have not released the names of the suspect or officers involved. McManus said the four officers who returned fire have each been with the department for 6 to 10 years, and the investigation is ongoing.
