San Antonio police shooting
The backstory:
Officers received a call just before 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday from a man at an apartment complex on Stone Oak Parkway saying he was going to kill himself. Then a woman called about shots being fired.
When officers arrived on the scene, a woman came out of the apartment saying the suspect, later identified as Brandon Poulos, was shooting inside and that he was about to come out.
Police said Poulos came out of the apartment shooting, hitting one officer in the leg.
A total of seven officers were eventually injured by the suspect's gunfire, according to San Antonio police.
San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus said SWAT arrived and tried to negotiate with Poulos to surrender peacefully.
Gas canisters and drones were used in an attempt to get him out of the apartment. Police say he shot down multiple drones.
After hours barricaded inside the apartment, Poulos was found dead.
