SAN ANTONIO – A man was shot and killed after he allegedly threatened San Antonio police officers on the East Side, according to SAPD Chief William McManus.
Officers were initially responding to a stabbing call just before midnight at the Knight’s Inn in the 4000 block of East Houston Street.
Upon arrival, McManus said the caller came to the door and spoke with three officers.
The man appeared at the door, made a threat toward the officers, and moved “aggressively” toward them, McManus said.
All three officers fired their guns, McManus said. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other injuries were reported.
