SAN ANTONIO — Multiple SAPD units are at the scene of a shooting involving an officer at the 17000 block of La Cantera Terrace on the city’s northwest side Sunday night.
Police Chief William McManus said they were responding to an unrelated call about someone smoking marijuana in the area.
When they arrived at the scene, officers identified a stolen vehicle at the location and attempted to make contact with a suspect.
That’s when the suspect allegedly got into the stolen vehicle and attempted to make a getaway, jumping the curb and nearly striking SAPD officers, causing them to fire their weapons at the suspect.
Chief McManus said the suspect was shot in the head and taken to a nearby hospital but did not comment on their condition.
This is a developing story.
