A San Antonio police officer shot a 28-year-old man who allegedly raised his firearm during a confrontation outside an illegal after-hours drinking spot. The incident unfolded early Sunday morning when the officer was responding to reports of gunfire in the area; moments later, a man exited the establishment with a gun despite being ordered to drop it.
After the shooting, the suspect barricaded himself inside the building, prompting a standoff that lasted several hours before he surrendered to police.

The officer involved, who has six and a half years of experience, is currently under investigation by the police department’s shooting team and internal affairs unit.
