SAN ANTONIO — Three men were arrested after shooting at an off-duty San Antonio detective on the northwest-side, police said.
The shooting happened around 1:30p.m. at an apartment complex on Camino Villa near Bandera Road.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said an off-duty detective was at his daughter’s apartment complex helping her move when he saw someone breaking into his truck.
