A suspect shot and wounded two Texas officers during a car pursuit before barricading himself in an apartment complex Thursday evening, police said.
He was later arrested after police set up a perimeter around the area, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said during a press conference.
The injured officers were transported to local hospitals in serious condition, said McManus, who did not identify the officers but said one was a 4-year veteran of the department and the other a 6-year veteran.that the officers were in stable condition after being severely injured in the chase. Police received a tip at about 5 p.m. about the location of a wanted person and police responded to the area. The suspect left the apartment complex carrying a long gun and joined a driver in a vehicle that started to leave.
The suspect saw a carload of police behind them and began shooting, hitting one of the officers, McManus said. The pair carjacked a different vehicle and fled to another San Antonio apartment complex before shooting and wounding another officer multiple times, McManus said.
