BODYCAMS: Officers Fatally Shoot Murder Suspect During Gunfight In San Antonio

The San Antonio Police Department released body camera footage from a shootout between San Antonio Police and a man suspected of killing another man.

In the video, one officer who responded to a residence in the 400 block of Clutter on April 20 is seen being led to a shed behind the home, where the suspect was armed. One officer is heard pleading with the man to drop the gun. After several minutes, the officer takes cover behind an SUV in the backyard.

Another officer arrives to the backyard and joins the first officer behind the vehicle. Both officers continue to ask the suspect to drop his weapon.

According to SAPD, at this point, the second officer sees the man pointing his gun towards him. She fires her gun; SAPD says it's unclear whether her shots hit the suspect.

The standoff between the officers and the suspect continues for several more minutes, during which police say the suspect admits to shooting and killing another man.

A third officer at the scene begins to move the family out of the house. Officers ask the man to put his hands up and drop the weapon. Eventually, gunfire is exchanged. It's unclear who shot first, but several dozen shots were fired during the exchange. SAPD said the suspect fired several rounds at the officers. The suspect was hit, but officers said they could see him still moving and reaching for his gun, so they continued to fire. Once they determined the suspect was no longer moving, officers moved in. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. - ThisIsButter: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJknzcSR5uQK5q96drbeI3g
