Texas Self-Defense: SAPD: Fatal East Side shooting may have been done in self defense :: 06/13/2018
A San Antonio man fatally shot outside an East Side home Tuesday evening was assaulting someone before he was killed, according to San Antonio police.
Officers were called to the 2600 block of Bermuda Drive at 6:35 p.m., where they found 51-year-old Jerry Lopez Sr. He had been shot multiple times in the chest, police said.
The shooter remained on the scene and cooperated with the investigation, according to the police department.
A witness told police Lopez assaulted them before going outside the home to shatter the windows of a pickup, according to a preliminary police report. Lopez also allegedly fired two rounds.
When Lopez went back into the home, he allegedly threatened the shooter and pointed his gun at him. The shooter pulled out his own gun and shot Lopez, who was pronounced dead by paramedics shortly after they arrived to the home, authorities said.
