The Bexar County sheriff's deputy, whose name has not
been released, was responding to a report of a domestic
disturbance about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday. Authorities say
the deputy broke up a fight between a father and a son.
While the deputy was trying to speak with one of the

The officer, whose name wasn't released, was treated and

door and a window shot. Responding officers were unable
to locate a suspect. Gutierrez didn't immediately provide
additional details. It's the second incident this week of
