SAN ANTONIO \u2013 San Antonio police officers shot and killed a man early Thursday morning on the East Side, SAPD acting chief Jesse Salame said. <\/p>\n
The shooting happened around 2:25 a.m. in the 800 block of Hammond Avenue, which is located near Rigsby Avenue. <\/p>\n
A probationary officer and a field training officer noticed a \u201csuspicious\u201d man on a bicycle and attempted to stop him. However, Salame said the man fled. <\/p>\n
The officers followed the man and notified additional officers in the area, who responded to assist with the investigation. <\/p>\n
The man was eventually found in front of a home on Hammond Avenue. As the officers \u201ccontacted\u201d him, Salame said the man pulled out a handgun. <\/p>\n
Four of the five officers who responded fired shots at the man, Salame said. The man, who has yet to be identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. <\/p>\n
The officers who shot the man range from less than one year to 20 years with the San Antonio Police Department. <\/p>\n
SAPD said its investigation remains ongoing. <\/p>\n
