McManus said the man was struck and was taken to the hospital and at last check was listed as being stable.
SAN ANTONIO — A standoff that began as a domestic dispute leads to five police officers shooting a man on the southwest side Friday night, according to Police Chief William McManus.
The call for help came in around 10:30 pm in the 100 block of Carranza Street near Frio City Road as a family disturbance with a gun involved.
McManus said there was an altercation inside a home involving a man, his partner, and that woman’s teenaged son. McManus said during the conflict, the man retrieved a weapon, which caused the woman and her son to run from the home.
“There were three children inside the house once they fled,” McManus said.
McManus said when officers arrived they attempted to negotiate with the man and get him to drop the gun.
“He was standing in the doorway of the house and at some point, this is what we know right now, this is preliminary and subject to change, but at some point in those negotiations the suspect raised the gun and fired a round, at which time officers returned fire,” McManus said.
McManus said three of the officers have been on the force for two years, one five years and another 13 years.
McManus said the man was struck and taken to the hospital in stable condition.
