SAPD: Officers shoot at man in northwest-side gas station parking lot after he pointed gun at them

Officers said they were responding to a shooting in the area when they came across a man and a woman fighting.

SAN ANTONIO — Officers fired shots at a man they came across early Friday morning who they said was fighting with a woman at a northwest side gas station, according to the San Antonio Police Department. It's unclear if the man was shot or just his vehicle because he took off from the scene.

A spokesperson for SAPD said officers were responding to another shooting around 2 a.m. in the area when they came across the scene at the gas station, located near Wurzbach Road and Babcock Road. When officers confronted the man and ordered him to drop his weapon and surrender, he refused and that's when officers opened fire at him because investigators said he pointed his gun at them.

The man got back into his vehicle and took off. Officials said the woman left behind at the scene has been cooperating with them.

If you have any information about this case, you're asked to call SAPD.
