Seven San Antonio Police Officers Injured in Shooting During Standoff

Officers were responding to a 'suicide in progress' call when a suspect opened fire and later died under unclear circumstances.

The incident occurred on January 22, 2025, at the Sonterra Heights apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas, after police responded to a family member's call about a 'suicide in progress.'
Seven officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries after being shot by a 46-year-old male suspect, identified as Brandon Scott Poulos, who later barricaded himself in his apartment.
The suspect was found dead after an hours-long standoff; authorities are investigating whether his death was self-inflicted or caused by police gunfire.
Poulos had been arrested days earlier on charges including assault and driving while intoxicated and was out on bond at the time of the shooting.
Residents of the apartment complex were evacuated or advised to shelter in place during the standoff, which involved SWAT and police negotiations.
