SAN AUGUSTINE, Texas (KETK) – The City of San Augustine Police Department is currently searching for a suspect who allegedly shot at two police officers on Friday.
According to the department, their officers and deputies from the San Augustine County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of shots fired in the late hours of Friday at the Sunset Hills Apartment Complex on Holly Courts Drive in San Augustine.
While patrolling on foot in the area, a shot was fired by an unknown person in the area of two police officers. San Augustine PD said one officer reported hearing the “cracking” sound that a bullet makes when fired in a person’s direction.
The unknown person then fled into the woods to the east of the apartments and escaped from the officers because of the dense terrain. According to the department, bodycam footage from the two officers shows a muzzle flash from a gun at the time when the officers were shot at.
“The safety of our community and officers remains our top priority. We thank the public for their continued support and assistance,” the San Augustine Police Department said on Saturday.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the San Augustine Police Department at 936-275-2384 or the San Augustine County Sheriff’s Office at 936-275-2424.
