SAN ANTONIO -- An Olmos
Park police officer has been suspended and faces charges of aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon after authorities said he shot a man at least three times
inside his east-side home Saturday.
Frankie Salazar, 29, was arrested
inside a home near the intersection of Palmetto Street and the I-35 frontage
road around 3:30 a.m.
A background check on Salazar
indicates he lives at the home.
The victim, 33-year-old Jesus
Guitron, was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center in critical
condition.
A preliminary report released
by SAPD indicates Guitron was stabilized after arriving at the hospital.
A spokeswoman for SAMMC did not
return KENS 5's calls for an update on his condition Monday.
Olmos Park Police Chief Fritz
Bohne said Salazar has been suspended while the department reviews the facts of
the incident.
Salazar has been an officer
with Olmos Park since January.
Constable Ruben Tejeda
confirmed Monday that Salazar was a reserve deputy constable for precinct 1
from August 2010 to January 2013.
The police report indicates
Guitron and Officer Salazar got into a physical altercation after a woman
inside the home was uncomfortable with the men's plan of "switching
partners sexually."
According to the report,
another woman handed Salazar a .45 caliber handgun.
Police said he then shot
Guitron in the chest, hand and possibly his pinkie finger.
Police found Guitron lying in
the street when they arrived on scene.
