4 SAPD officers injured in Stone Oak shooting, police say

SAN ANTONIO – Four San Antonio police officers were shot on the North Side, according to SAPD Chief William McManus.

The shooting happened just before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at an apartment complex in the 18700 block of Stone Oak Pkwy.

During a news conference just after 10 p.m., McManus said officers responded to a suicide in progress call from a family member.

The first officer arrived at the scene and was shot in a lower extremity, McManus said.

A second officer also arrived and was shot, according to McManus. A third and fourth officer later arrived and were shot as well.

The fourth officer suffered a gunshot wound to their upper body, SAPD said.

All four officers have been transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, McManus said.

McManus said the four officers have between four and eight years of service with the department.

According to McManus, the crime scene is still active. A SWAT team is setting up a perimeter around the complex, the chief said.

A Stone Oak resident told KSAT that he heard “one big bang” while studying in his apartment, but he didn’t think much of the noise.

“My mom, she lives with me, so she told me to come outside (to) the balcony,” the resident said. “She heard all these noises. Sure enough, there’s (sic) like helicopters flying everywhere.”

Moments later, the resident said he heard multiple gunshots.

“It was two or three,” the resident said. “I was, like, ‘Hey mom, those are gunshots.’ I looked over to the hallway, and sure enough, I saw one of the SAPD officers was (sic) on the ground, and he had been shot. It looked like he got shot in the upper thigh because they were putting a tourniquet on him.”

McManus said some apartment residents near the shooting have been evacuated. Police also suggested that residents near the Stone Oak Parkway shooting to remain inside their apartments.

This is a developing story. KSAT will update this story as more information becomes available.
