SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police have identified an armed suspect and the officer who shot her on the Northwest Side.
According to a preliminary report from SAPD, officers responded just before 6 p.m. Thursday for a report of a woman walking around and waving a handgun in the 2800 block of Babcock Road.
SAPD said the officers tried to talk to the woman — identified as 38-year-old Janelle Harris — and that’s when she turned towards the officers and pointed the gun at them.
Officer Jaren Falcon then shot Harris, according to the report.
Harris was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured.
Harris was charged with two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant and two counts of obstruction or retaliation.
Falcon has been with SAPD for less than a year. He was placed on administrative duty until further notice while the department conducts separate but concurrent investigations.
Their findings will be forwarded to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office for review.
