SAN ANTONIO — A man was shot and killed Friday morning by an off-duty Border Patrol agent who was also working as a security guard at an apartment complex.
San Antonio Police and the San Antonio Fire Department responded to the 10000 block of Ingram Road for a shooting.
When they arrived on scene, they learned that the security guard confronted a group of men who were burglarizing a truck.
