SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A Texas sheriff says a man who had his hands raised as if to surrender when deputies gunned him down was armed with a knife.
Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau told the San Antonio Express-News on Tuesday that Gilbert Flores was carrying the knife when the deputies confronted him Friday outside of a home northwest of San Antonio.
Pamerleau previously said Flores was armed but she didn't say what type of weapon he allegedly had.
A motorist captured video showing the 41-year-old Flores standing motionless with his hands raised when he was shot. A utility pole obscured one of his arms, though.
