San Marcos police officer killed, two more injured in shooting ‘ambush’

A police officer is dead and two other officers were injured Saturday during what police described as an “ambush” in San Marcos.

The San Marcos Police Department posted on Facebook around 7:15 p.m., urging people in the area to shelter in place as they responded to an “incident” on Hunter Road. That incident was a call about an assault/domestic disturbance at the Twin Lake Villas Apartments.

Police said the two other officers were transported to Ascension Seton Hays in Kyle, where they underwent surgery.

The alleged shooter died due to a self-inflicted wound, according to police.
