SAN ANTONIO — The Medical Examiner has yet to release the name of a 46-year-old woman who died when she was shot by three San Antonio Police Officers early Friday.
It happened around 2 a.m. at the Rosemont at Miller’s Pond on Old Pearsall Road.
Police Chief William McManus said, “What we know right now from preliminary information is that there was a disturbance and a woman was tinkering or destroying a fire alarm in her apartment.”
McManus added, “The fire department showed up first and the woman continued to destroy property in the apartment and the fire department backed off.”
Five times in his narrative about the sequence of events, McManus characterized the early information as ‘very sketchy,’ saying he had not had time to review body worn camera evidence of the incident.
Later on Friday night, the three SAPD officers who McManus said fired at and killed the woman were suspended without pay, arrested and charged with murder. The police chief said the shooting was "not consistent" with department training.
