Deputy Shoots Man With Samurai Swords | San Antonio News

Deputies in Bexar County faced a terrifying standoff last Sunday when a suspect brandished two “miniature samurai swords” and charged at them despite repeated commands to drop the weapons. After the man emerged from behind a pillar and advanced aggressively, one deputy fired, striking him. The 38-year-old suspect, Danh Thanh Dinh, was hospitalized and jailed, facing two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant with a $200,000 bond. The deputy who fired—on the job for 16 years—is on administrative leave as the incident is investigated. What began as a mental health call spiraled into a violent confrontation, underscoring the unpredictable dangers law enforcement regularly confronts.
