CBS Dallas/Fort Worth April 18, 2021 A handgun-wielding man who opened fire outside the San Antonio airport died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, not from police gunfire as officials initially said, according to a police statement Friday, April 16. On Thursday, Police Chief William McManus said the man was fatally shot outside a San Antonio International Airport terminal hours after he'd shot at vehicles from a highway overpass in the northern part of the Texas city. In the Friday police statement, the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office concluded that an autopsy on the man and evidence examined at the shooting scene showed the man had shot himself after receiving a non-fatal wound from Officer John Maines' gun.
