SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Police say a man who shot two officers and was at the center of a six-hour standoff has killed himself and the officers are in stable condition.
Police say Andres Vargas was found dead inside his South Side home this morning after a SWAT team threw tear gas in the house around midnight to gain entry.
Last night, Officers Brandy Roell and Lawrence Robarts went to the home to serve a warrant on Vargas, who was accused of shooting at his ex-wife on Saturday.
The San Antonio Express-News reports when the officers entered the home, Vargas opened fire, hitting Roell in the back and Robarts in the leg and shoulder.
San Antonio police officer Joe Rios tells The Associated Press both officers are in stable condition.
