A woman is dead after pointing a gun at officers who were working to negotiate with her during a standoff, according to Converse police.
Officers were called to a home on Autumn Run Lane in Converse on Tuesday afternoon for a report of a woman attempting suicide. Officers arrived to find the woman with a firearm in a chair in the home’s garage.Four officers negotiated with the woman for about 40 minutes to put the gun down.
She then laid the gun down for a few minutes, and officers tried to use less-lethal methods to try to subdue her but were too far away, Converse police said.Officers fired their weapons and killed her. Officials did not release information on how many shots were fired during the call or whether all four officers fired.The officers will be placed on administrative leave pending further investigation. The Texas Rangers will be taking over the investigation into the shooting.
CPD officers received a similar-but-unrelated call earlier Tuesday, and the negotiator was successfully able to stop the person from harming themselves. Officials say the same negotiator worked on this case.Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Ivan Herrera has worked as a journalist in San Antonio since 2016. His work for KSAT 12 and KSAT.
