San Antonio police have identified 46-year-old Brandon Scott Poulos as the suspect in the fatal shooting of seven SAPD officers at a Stone Oak apartment complex. The incident began with a report of a suicide, which led to a confrontation where Poulos, reportedly intoxicated, assaulted an elderly couple and another woman before officers arrived. During the altercation, several officers were shot as they attempted to intervene. All injured officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Poulos barricaded himself in the apartment for several hours and was later found dead. It’s unclear if he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound or police fire. Poulos had a history of violence and alcohol-related offenses, and was released on bail just before the shooting.
