SAPD: Man tells police to 'shoot him' during standoff with officers

The man will be facing aggravated assault charges when police have him in custody.

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Police end a standoff with a man they say fired his shotgun at someone in a truck on the southwest side of town late Tuesday evening.

The standoff happened at a home on the 600 block of Elks Drive near Nogalitos Street around 10:15 p.m.

SAPD has not made an arrest yet in this shooting because they say they're waiting for the man to cool off.

We're still working to learn what led up to this shooting, but SAPD did say the person who was shot at is not injured. 

SAPD says the man with a shotgun went back into his house and told police to "shoot him." Officers did set up a quadrant around the house but decided use a de-escalation tactic and stand down.

The man has a family and police advised them to not go inside the house until he calms down.

The man has not been arrested yet, but when he is taken into custody, police say he will face charges for aggravated assault.

This is a developing story.
