An off-duty officer was shot while driving with his son in an apparent road-rage attack, according to Texas police.
The 48-year-old San Antonio officer told investigators that another vehicle was “road raging” with him along a stretch of highway on the city’s north side around 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, a San Antonio Police Department release said.
That vehicle was speeding and tailgating the officer, police told KENS.
The other driver then pulled alongside the officer’s truck and a passenger opened fire, the release said. Several bullets hit the truck and one hit the officer, according to police.
His 16-year-old son was not injured and dialed 9-1-1, TV station KABB reported.
Police arrived to find the truck stopped on the shoulder of the highway, the release said. The officer was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
No suspects have been identified, but an investigation is underway, police said.
