AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Seven San Antonio police officers were injured in a shooting after they responded to a suicide call Wednesday night.
San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus initially said on social media that four officers were injured, but he said in an update overnight that there were a total of seven.
SAPD responded to the call of a suicide in progress near the area of Stone Oak Parkway and Loop 1604 shortly after 9 p.m., according to posts on McManus's X account.
McManus provided more details in an update overnight, saying that SWAT had responded to the scene, and the suspect, who police described as a man in his 40s, barricaded himself inside the apartment for several hours.
The man was later found dead. McManus said it's unclear if he died by a self-inflicted wound or if he was shot by officers.
McManus said the suspect had been arrested earlier this month on charges of assault and DWI and was out on bond at the time of the shooting.
