A fatal confrontation unfolded Saturday afternoon at Sage Apartments in New Braunfels, leaving a 33-year-old Spring, Texas man dead.

 

Police responded around 4:15 p.m. to a reported disturbance between a man and a woman on West San Antonio Street.

 

As officers arrived and engaged both individuals, the man allegedly drew a sharp weapon and advanced toward them.

 

Both officers fired their service weapons, striking the man.

 

Despite prompt medical aid from police and New Braunfels Fire Department paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

No officers or other civilians were hurt in the incident.

 

The two officers, with a combined four years of service, are on administrative leave as investigations by New Braunfels Police and the Texas Rangers continue.
