Overview
- Police say the suspect shot through a sliding glass door to enter the home on Friday, fired at officers and wounded an SAPD officer during a hours-long barricade before officers entered and found both adults dead.
- The Bexar County Medical Examiner on Monday identified the victims as Brianna Nicole Richter, 40, whose death was ruled a homicide, and Albert Nixon Richter IV, 44, whose death was ruled a suicide.
- SAPD identified the injured officer as Hunter Albrecht and said his wound was below the vest and above the belt with no vital organs hit; he was taken to a hospital and is expected to be OK.
- Court records show Brianna reported prior assaults and threats that included warnings he would "find her and kill her" if she filed for divorce, and Albert had been arrested April 16 on family-violence charges before being released on bond.
- Two children, ages 10 and 12, were removed safely and are being cared for by relatives while a community fundraiser has raised more than $13,700, and advocates and data cited in reporting warn that access to firearms raises the lethality risk for victims leaving abusive relationships.
