A 42-year-old Indian-origin man, Sachin Sahoo, was shot and killed by police officers in San Antonio. The officers were trying to apprehend him in connection with an assault case when Sahoo struck two officers with his vehicle. This led to the fatal shooting by police officer Tyler Turner. Sachin Sahoo, originally from Uttar Pradesh, was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident took place just before 6:30 pm when officers responded to a report of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon at a residence in Cheviot Heights.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a 51-year-old female victim who had been intentionally struck by a vehicle, allegedly driven by Sahoo. The victim was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition, prompting the issuance of a felony arrest warrant for Sahoo.
Hours later, Sahoo returned to the location, where officers attempted to approach him. In a shocking turn of events, Sahoo struck two officers with his vehicle, leading to the fatal shooting. While one officer was injured and received medical treatment, Sahoo was pronounced dead at the scene.
“They did find him and he jumped in his car. He pulled out of his driveway” where the police officers blocked him with their vehicles but he was able to squeeze through them. Mr Sahoo hit the officers with his vehicle. “The other officer that was with him fired to stop him and struck him,” Police Chief Bill McManus said, adding that his investigation remains ongoing.
A report in Kens5.com quoted Sahoo’s ex-wife Leah Goldstein as saying that Sahoo was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
“He suffered the past ten years with bipolar disorder,” Goldstein said. “He also had symptoms of schizophrenia.” “He couldn’t understand what was wrong with him,” she said in the news report. “He would hear voices. And hallucinate and just hear voices and just get stuck in his own mind.” Goldstein described Sahoo as a great dad.
