San Antonio police said officers have fatally shot a man after a nearly four-hour standoff.
Police Chief William McManus said the 29-year-old man barricaded himself in an apartment around 6 p.m. Sunday after officers tried to serve a felony warrant.
McManus said negotiators talked to the man before he climbed out of a window, pulled a gun and refused to drop it. McManus said the man was “quickly advancing” on officers before he was shot multiple times.
McManus confirmed a witness account that the man told police during the standoff that he wouldn't go back to jail. The man was wanted for parole violation on a family violence charge.
The man's name hasn't been released. Police said he was alone in the apartment.
