A barricaded suspect shot and wounded four police officers who had responded to a residential call in San Antonio, TX. The shooting occurred at an apartment complex in the Stone Oak neighborhood of north San Antonio.

The four officers were hospitalized with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. Stone Oak is considered "one of the most beautiful and beloved neighborhoods" of San Antonio, Texas.
