SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Police said a family violence incident escalated, prompting a SWAT response at an east-side neighborhood on Monday.
SAPD said officers responded just after 11 a.m. to a home on the 300 block of Longview Drive for reports of a shooting-in-progress. Officials said they also received a call from a woman who claimed her husband was the suspect.
Upon arrival, police said the woman had safely exited the home with her children and told officers her husband had assaulted her with a firearm.
Officials said the suspect is believed to be the only person still inside the home at this time.
Police were able to obtain arrest and search warrants and said SWAT negotiators have taken over in an attempt to get the suspect to come out peacefully.
Police said the woman and her children are in good condition and no other injuries were reported.
The suspect has been in contact with police for several hours, according to officials. No arrests have been made at this time but police say when the suspect is taken into custody, he faces a charge for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
This is a developing story.
