7 San Antonio police officers shot by barricaded suspect, authorities say

Seven San Antonio, Texas police officers were shot by a barricaded suspect Wednesday night, the city's police chief said. The suspect was found dead from a gunshot wound, he added.

Chief William McManus told reporters the incident began when officers responded to a call from a family member of the suspect regarding a "suicide in progress" at an apartment complex in the Stone Oak neighborhood of north San Antonio.

The first officer who arrived "was shot in the lower extremity," McManus said.
