SAN ANTONIO – Police are investigating after a reported officer-involved shooting near a West Side park.
Around 7:50 p.m., police responded to calls of a reported shooting near the corner of Aurora Avenue and N 38th Street on the West Side.
Acting Police Chief Jesse Salame said on scene that police were dispatched for calls of a man waiving a handgun in the neighborhood.
Police said they had received similar calls from the area during the past month. When officers arrived, they found a 69-year-old suspect armed with a handgun.
Despite police attempting to negotiate with the suspect, officers said the suspect had made a threat toward the officers, and five San Antonio Police Officers opened fire, killing the suspect.
The officers had been serving with the department for time periods ranging from six months to four years.
The San Antonio Police Department will be running an internal investigation and submitting those findings to the Bexar County Criminal District Attorney.
