SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Police were on the scene of a barricaded subject at the 8800 block of Topsey on the south side Friday morning. 

It originally started when residents inside a home found out the person that had been living in a shed behind their house, had broken into the home during the night. The residents said they heard the suspect firing shots from the bedroom. 

When police arrived they cleared the house thinking the suspect was inside shed. However, he was in the bedroom police were about to enter. When police cleared the threshold of that room, they were met with gunfire from the suspect. 

One officer returned fire and hit the suspect twice in the leg. In that time, police retreated and waited for the SWAT team. While police were waiting for SWAT, the suspect gave himself up. 

Police said they do not know why the suspect was shooting in the first place.
