Sheriff says man shot at deputies, took over neighbor's home

A 40-year-old man accused of shooting at Bexar County deputies was arrested when he surrendered after a two-hour standoff in a far Northeast Side home on Thursday. Sheriff Javier Salazar said deputies responded to a call from a man stating that he was being followed. The man, identified as Anthony Tijerina , was believed to be suffering from a mental health episode. Shortly after Tijerina’s call, his neighbor called police after he barged into her home while holding an AR-15 , Salazar said.

Bexar County sheriff says man took indecent pictures with sleeping minor Salazar said Tijerina fired “several shots” at deputies, and in response, one deputy returned fire but did not strike him. Tijerina retreated into the home and set up in the second-story with a “high vantage point” until authorities arrived. Both SWAT and patrol deputies established communication with Tijerina, and Salazar said he later surrendered.
