SAN ANTONIO – Two children were safely recovered from a home after a domestic dispute ended with one officer shot in the stomach, and the gunman and his estranged wife dead.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened around 1 p.m. on Friday Red Hawk Ridge near Hardy Oak Boulevard.<\/p>\n
According to a source familiar with the situation, an officer was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening wound after reportedly being shot below his protective vest.<\/p>\n
“Fortunately, we understand that right now there were no vital organs that were struck,\u201d said McManus.<\/p>\n
According to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, the suspect, who has yet to be positively identified, forced his way into the residence through a glass door with a handgun in his possession.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe gets inside, kills his estranged or soon-to-be estranged wife, and barricades himself in one of the rooms,\u201d said McManus.<\/p>\n
The break-in resulted in a shootout and subsequent standoff with police, in which one officer was shot and rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Police said that upon forcing entry into the home during the standoff and found the suspect dead.<\/p>\n
Two children, between the ages of 8 and 12, were found inside the home. Those children were removed from the home safely.<\/p>\n
SWAT units were on scene, surrounding the area where police believe the suspect is barricaded inside. A police drone was seen flying around the scene, as well as small remote vehicles.<\/p>\n
As of now, we are working to find out the identity of the suspect. McManus says he was not on their radar, although they have heard he may be a motorcycle gang member. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re hearing. I don\u2019t know that to be a fact, but that\u2019s what we\u2019re hearing,\u201d said McManus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – Two children were safely recovered from a home after a domestic dispute ended with one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-715414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
