SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A 69-year-old man was shot and killed by five police officers Saturday on the West Side, according to the San Antonio Police Department.<\/p>\n
Acting Police Chief Jesse Salame said officers were responding just after 7:45 p.m. in the 600 block of Aurora Avenue, near Alderete Park and Loma Park Elementary School, to reports that the man was waving a handgun across the street from his house, which he said the department has been notified of multiple times within the last month.<\/p>\n
Officers gave multiple verbal commands for the man to drop the weapon. Salame said the man appeared as though he would comply, at first, but ultimately did not.<\/p>\n
At some point, Salame said the five officers \u201cperceived a threat\u201d and fired shots at the man.<\/p>\n
Salame said there is, at this point, no evidence the man fired his weapon, which had bullets loaded. None of the officers were injured.<\/p>\n
The officers were all placed on administrative duty, Salame said, pending the results of the investigation.<\/p>\n
