Seven San Antonio police officers were shot by a barricaded suspect Wednesday night, the city's police chief said.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus held an impromptu press conference near the incident around 10:30 p.m. and explained to local media about what transpired. It was initially reported that only four police officers were shot during the incident.

Seven police officers were shot and wounded by a barricaded suspect as they responded to reports of a “suicide in progress” at an apartment building in San Antonio, Texas, according to authorities. The suspect on Thursday was identified as 46-year-old Brandon Scott Poulos,
