Summary
A Friday standoff in San Antonio ended with the gunman and his estranged wife dead, one officer shot in the stomach, and two children removed safely from the home.
Police Chief William McManus said the suspect forced his way in through a glass door with a handgun, killed the woman, then barricaded himself in a room, triggering a shootout with officers.
The wounded officer was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening injury after being hit below his protective vest; McManus said no vital organs were struck.
SWAT units, a police drone and small remote vehicles were deployed before officers forced entry and found the suspect dead inside.
The suspect had not been positively identified late Friday, and McManus said police were hearing he may have ties to a motorcycle gang but had not confirmed it.
