Man found passed out in car with gun, police say

SAN ANTONIO — A man was found by employees of a southeast-side convenience store passed out in his truck with a gun early Tuesday morning.

San Antonio Police officers responded to the 7-11 located at the 400 block of Fair Avenue near South Hackberry Street just after 6 a.m. for reports of the incident.

When law enforcement arrived at the location, they found the man passed out in his truck, which was parked at the store. Officials said that he had a weapon near him.

A SWAT team has been trying for the past one and a half hours to wake the man, even using a flash bang, but that has not worked.

Police also said there were bullet holes in the truck’s window, but are not sure how that happened.

As a precaution, the store has been evacuated to keep everyone safe.

This is a developing story.
