Speaker 1: Next here to the seven police officers shot and wounded while responding to a call in San Antonio. A Navy veteran now accused of opening fire, shooting officers one by one as they arrived. Here's ABC's Maria Villarreal.

Speaker 2: Tonight, a Navy veteran who opened fire on multiple police officers is dead after a terrifying shootout at a San Antonio apartment complex. One after the other, seven arriving officers struck by bullets late Wednesday while responding to an attempted suicide call by a concerned family member.

Speaker 3: First officer arrived to that call. He wound up being shot. Another officer who was arriving after him, or about the same time as him, was also shot. Third officer arriving on the scene, shot as well.

Speaker 2: Authorities say 46-year-old Brandon Pulos opened fire on police through an apartment window where he barricaded himself during an hours-long standoff, residents ducking for cover. I actually got on the floor and then I went in my bathtub. I went and sat in my bathtub. I'm like, yeah, this is probably the safest spot right now. Those officers now recovering from non-life-threatening injuries. David, it's still unclear whether the suspect shot himself or whether he was killed by police, but we do know he was a 10-year veteran of the Navy and he was arrested and released over the weekend.

Speaker 1: David? Just days ago, Maria Villarreal tonight. Maria, thank you.
