SEVEN COPS SHOT IN SAN ANTONIO

Police say Brandon Poulos (insert) shot at the officers who were responding to a "suicide in progress" call.

 

 

Police responded to a "suicide in progress" call in San Antonio, TX. last night.  The situation turned to shit and seven officers were shot.  Fortunately none of the wounds were life-threatening and all officers are likely to be able to return to full duty.

The initial call came for an apartment complex.  A second call came shortly after reporting shots fired.  The original call came from a family member of the suspect.  When the cops showed up an adult female exited the apartment and said that Brandon Scott Poulos, 46, had been shooting inside the apartment.  About that time Poulos opened fire on the cops, hitting one in the leg.  More cops rolled up and Poulos began actively engaging them, hitting a total of seven officers.  Some of the wounds were very minor and were treated at the scene.  

A SWAT team responded and attempted to negotiate with Poulos with no luck.  When the cops finally entered the apartment they found Poulos, deader than dog shit.  It is unclear if he self-rehabilitated or was shot to death by one of the cops.  

Poulos had been arrested for violating a protection order on January 18 and was released one day later on bail.  I guess that turned out to be not such a smart move.
