Seven San Antonio, Texas police officers were shot by a barricaded suspect Wednesday night, the city's police chief said. The suspect was found dead from a gunshot wound, he added.

Chief William McManus told reporters the incident began when officers responded to a call from a family member of the suspect regarding a "suicide in progress" at an apartment complex in the Stone Oak neighborhood of north San Antonio.

The first officer who arrived "was shot in the lower extremity," McManus said.

"Another officer arriving after him, or about the same time as him, was also shot," the police chief continued. "Third officer arriving on the scene was shot as well. And finally, the fourth officer who arrived on the scene was shot, I believe that was in the upper torso."

The four officers were hospitalized with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries, McManus said.

He had described the suspect as a man in his 40s.

"The suspect had three arrests on Jan. 18, two for assault offenses and one for DWI. He was out on bond at the time," McManus said.
