<p>Seven police officers in San Antonio, Texas, were shot after responding to a call about a “suicide in progress” on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Police were contacted by a family member of the suspect, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-shoots-police-officers-called-suicide-progress-san-antoni-rcna188902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, who has since been identified as 46-year-old Brandon Scott Poulos. When the first officers arrived at the apartment complex, a woman said there was a man inside who was shooting, WOAI <a href="https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/four-san-antonio-police-officers-shot-in-stone-oak-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Poulos then reportedly walked out of the apartment and began shooting, hitting one officer in the leg. The suicidal man then shot six more officers while barricaded inside the property, NBC reported. The seven wounded officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect died during the encounter, but it is unclear whether he shot himself or was shot by police, the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) told NBC.</p>
<p>During the encounter, police evacuated residents from the apartment building, and resident Joseph Loredo told WOAI that he first heard a pop before hearing other noises and recognizing them as gunfire. He ran from his apartment and found an officer on the ground.</p>
<p>“When I went outside, I saw one of SAPD officers had been shot,&#8221; Loredo told the outlet. &#8220;It looked like a leg wound because they were putting a tourniquet on him and then they dragged him away.”</p>
<p>&#8220;I caught on video when [police] was actually firing back,&#8221; Loredo added. &#8220;Then I saw the [shooter] actually shoot a few of the officers. I witnessed this. That is when SAPD actually returned fire.&#8221;</p>
<p>Loredo also told the outlet that he saw Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies arrive on the scene followed by the SWAT team, who surrounded the area once the suspect barricaded himself in the first-floor apartment.</p>

<p>Around 2:45 a.m., after an hours-long standoff and negotiations, SWAT entered the apartment to find Poulos dead from a gunshot wound.</p>
<p>&#8220;SWAT arrived on the scene and the suspect barricaded himself inside the apartment for several hours,&#8221; Police Chief William McManus said in a Facebook post. &#8220;At the end of the event the suspect was found to be deceased, we don&#8217;t know if he was shot by a self-inflicted wound or whether or not he was shot by squad officers.&#8221;</p>
<p>McManus also said that Poulos had been arrested on January 18 for violating a protection order, three assault charges, and driving while intoxicated. He was out on bond when the shooting occurred.</p>
<p>All of the injured officers are expected to make a full recovery.</p>
