SAN ANTONIO – Police are investigating after a reported officer-involved shooting near a West Side park.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Acting Police Chief Jesse Salame said on scene that police were dispatched for calls of a man waiving a handgun in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The officers had been serving with the department for time periods ranging from six months to four years.<\/p>\n
The San Antonio Police Department will be running an internal investigation and submitting those findings to the Bexar County Criminal District Attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – Police are investigating after a reported officer-involved shooting near a West Side park.
