2 San Antonio police officers shot and wounded during domestic disturbance call; suspect surrenders

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) — Two San Antonio police officers have been shot and seriously wounded while trying to stop a man from burning a home during a domestic dispute. Police say the officers were shot at around 7:30 p.m. Thursday while answering a disturbance call. Police Chief William McManus says a man who’d gone to the home to retrieve his children argued with his wife, threatened to set the home ablaze and started to douse it with gasoline. When police arrived, McManus says he shot both officers from an upstairs window. One returned fire and the man surrendered after additional officers arrived. The man’s wife and children weren’t hurt.
