SAN ANTONIO – A man was arrested and charged after he began shooting outside a South Side restaurant during a fight, according to San Antonio police.
The fight broke out between two groups inside a Buffalo Wild Wings in the 7800 block of Interstate 35 South just before 9:30 p.m. As the groups moved outside, someone began firing, police said.
A bystander fleeing from the scene ran inside a nearby Taco Palenque and alerted several SAPD officers eating inside.
The officers did not hear the shooting break out, according to an SAPD supervisor at the scene.
The officers came out and heard multiple gunshots, according to an SAPD preliminary report.
Officers saw the suspect, 41, shooting toward one of the restaurants nearby, prompting one of the officers to fire their weapon once, the supervisor said.
The suspect dropped the firearm and was detained at the scene. He was later booked on a deadly conduct charge, according to the report.
Police believe an argument between the suspect and another man caused the shooting. It is not clear from SAPD’s report if the second man was detained or fled.
The officer who fired his weapon has three years of service with SAPD, police said.
Two separate investigations by SAPD and its Internal Affairs Unit, respectively, will be conducted. Their findings will be reviewed later by the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.
No one was injured during the shooting.
