Police say a man who initially called for help later fired a shotgun toward firefighters before surrendering.
SAN ANTONIO — A man is in custody after a late-night standoff on the southwest side of San Antonio that involved gunfire directed at first responders.
According to San Antonio police, the situation began around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when the man called for help at a home on Kelsey Avenue near New Laredo Highway.
Officers say when they arrived, the man was uncooperative.
Later, firefighters at a nearby station reported the same man was firing a shotgun toward their station, prompting another call to police.
Authorities say the man then ran to a nearby lot on Fenfield Avenue, jumped a fence, threw the shotgun aside and hid behind a bush.
After a short standoff, the man surrendered to officers without further incident.
No injuries were reported.
Detectives are continuing to investigate.
