A domestic violence call took an even more violent turn when a San Antonio police officer was shot and wounded on Sunday morning.
According to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, the incident occurred on the North Side, specifically in the 1300 block of Patricia Drive.
Responding to a distress call involving a domestic violence situation around 3:15 a.m., the female officer entered an apartment only to be confronted by a hail of bullets.

The officer, who remains unidentified, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. She was immediately rushed into surgery, and her condition is currently unknown.
Upon arriving at the scene, which happened to be an apartment complex, officers encountered a woman who claimed to have been assaulted by her boyfriend.
The boyfriend was discovered lying in bed, ominously accompanied by a rifle. Without warning, he started firing, and officers were forced to defend themselves, engaging in a firefight, as Chief McManus confirmed.

The officers quickly retreated from the apartment, while the armed suspect barricaded himself inside.
A standoff ensued, lasting several hours, until the SWAT team gained entry. However, they discovered a grim scene – the alleged shooter was found dead.
The chief added that it remains unclear whether the suspect took his own life or if his death was a result of the officers’ return fire.

“Per multiple law enforcement sources, the suspect who shot a San Antonio police officer w/ a rifle this morning is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught by Border Patrol in Eagle Pass, TX last November & was released into the US w/ his next court date in April 2026.
Per sources, San Antonio PD officers were responding to a domestic violence call just after 3am. When they made entry, 25-year-old Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez was laying in bed with a rifle, and opened fire on officers. The officers returned fire, then retreated. Chacon-Gutierrez is now dead, unclear if from return fire or suicide.
Per sources, the SAPD officer was shot multiple times, had surgery this morning, and she is expected to survive.” – Bill Melugin
Fortunately, the woman who initially raised the alarm, also in her 20s, sustained relatively minor injuries and is expected to recover fully.

Joe Biden, Obama and Harris’ America. Shut the Border down, deport ALL criminal invaders.
When will we demand action by our government. How many cops need to be killed or injured? How many overdose deaths? How many women need to be raped and assaulted? How many highway deaths caused by people who shouldn’t even be here let alone driving and drinking on our roads.
