SAPD's suspect shot after officers were attacked in the after-hour club

The police say that the suspect has barricaded himself in the club before he was handed over and taken to the hospital.

San Antonio-Die police officers of San Antonio were attacked when they examined a hotspot of difficulties in an illegal after-hour club on the city's southwest side.

It happened around 12:30 p.m. on the Sunday before the 5000 block of the Southwest Military Drive near the Old Pearsall Road.

According to Chief William McManus, detectives drove into an illegal club after the business time and a suspect began to shoot them inside. The detective returned fire and a suspect was hit.

The police say that the suspect then barricaded himself in the club and refused to get out. It is unclear how long the suspect ignored the police to surrender, but finally came out and the officials took him into custody. He was taken to a hospital to be treated.

The boss did not say whether the suspect was seriously injured, but said that there were chaotic moments when these officers were caught in the crossfire.

The examination continues.

This is a developing story.
