San Antonio police officers shot a teenager on the city’s south side, following an incident where the teen allegedly charged at them with a knife. This event occurred on Thursday and marks the twelfth officer-involved shooting within the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) for the year 2025.

The situation unfolded in a residential area, where police responded to reports of a disturbance involving a male teenager. Upon arriving at the scene, officers engaged with the young individual, who reportedly threatened them with a knife. In response to the perceived threat, officers discharged their firearms, hitting the teen.

Emergency medical services transported the teenager to a local hospital. His current condition remains undisclosed. The identities of the officers involved in the shooting have not yet been released to the public. The San Antonio Police Department has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

This shooting is part of a series of officer-involved incidents that have taken place in San Antonio this year. The last such event occurred on August 29, highlighting ongoing concerns about the frequency of these encounters. SAPD has not disclosed detailed information regarding the past shootings or the disciplinary actions taken, if any, against involved officers.

The department follows the protocol of placing officers involved in shootings on administrative duty while the investigation is ongoing. The internal affairs team, along with external oversight bodies, will evaluate the case to determine if the officers’ actions align with department policies and legal standards.

Community members and local leaders have expressed concerns over the rising number of shootings involving police. Advocacy groups are calling for increased transparency in the investigative processes and more rigorous training for officers to handle situations involving potentially armed individuals without resorting to lethal force.

In response to the incident, officials from the San Antonio Police Department held a press conference to address community concerns. They emphasized their commitment to a thorough investigation and reiterated the department’s policies on use of force and interaction with potentially dangerous individuals.

The SAPD’s ongoing review process involves gathering evidence, including witness statements, body camera footage, and any other relevant material, to construct a comprehensive account of the event. The department pledges to maintain accountability and transparency as the investigation proceeds.

Details about the residential disturbance that led to the police confrontation remain sparse. Authorities have not disclosed what prompted the initial call to police or the specific actions of the teenager that led to the shooting incident.

As the city grapples with these continued incidents, voices from the community emphasize the need for a broader dialogue on police practices and community safety. Local officials aim to address these concerns through engagement and policy reforms to prevent future occurrences.

The San Antonio Police Department is expected to release more information as the investigation develops. In the meantime, city leaders are urging patience from the community as they seek to balance safety, accountability, and justice in addressing the situation.
