SAN ANTONIO – A man is dead after he killed his wife and injured a San Antonio Police Department officer during a shooting Friday at a Stone Oak home, according to SAPD Chief William McManus.
The shooting happened around noon in the 100 block of Red Hawk Ridge, near Hardy Oak Boulevard.
SAPD entered the home after 3 p.m. and found the man dead. During a news conference Friday afternoon, McManus said the man had a pistol and turned the gun on himself.
The man shot his way through the glass doors and made his way inside the home, McManus said. SAPD believes the man did not live at the residence.
The husband later killed “his estranged, or soon to be estranged, wife” and barricaded himself inside, McManus said.
The chief said there were two children inside the house who lived with their mother, the wife. The children are OK, according to McManus. He could not confirm if the man was the father of the two children.
McManus said the man shot a police officer in the lower abdomen during the early hours of the barricade, which lasted nearly three hours. The condition of the officer is unclear.
Authorities believe the husband may be involved in a biker gang, McManus said.
The shooting drew a large response from law enforcement, and multiple residents in the neighborhood were evacuated from their homes.
This is the second SAPD officer shot this week. On Tuesday, an officer was shot on the North Side while attempting to serve a warrant.
