Jose Iruegas, 44, was shot by police after he allegedly threatened people with a gun and then pointed that gun at an officer. According to SAPD, they were called to the Luxury Inn in the 1400 block of Culebra Road at about 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 4 for reports of a man threatening people with a gun in the parking lot. When officers arrived, a witness told them that the man had gone to his room on the motel’s second floor. “I’m going to knock on 112,” Officer Joshua Nicholson could be heard saying to his partner in the video. When Nicholson knocked on the door and announced that he was a police officer, Iruegas opened the door with the gun in his hand, SAPD officials said. “Drop the gun!” Nicholson ordered Iruegas. Iruegas then lifted his arm and pointed the gun at the officer instead. Both Nicholson and Officer Ryan Tovar opened fire on Iruegas, striking him multiple times, according to SAPD. A man could then be heard crying in pain in the critical incident video before it cuts off. The gun collected at the scene was later identified as a BB gun Iruegas was taken to the hospital in critical condition and booked by proxy on two felony charges of Terroristic Threats Against a Police Officer. The investigation findings will be sent to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office for review. Once Iruegas is transferred to jail, his bonds total $100,000. Bexar County Court records show that Iruegas has a criminal record for arrests that include assault, burglary theft and drug possession dating back to 1998.
