The San Patricio County Sheriff's Office and the Ingleside Police Department first responded to a convenience store at the intersection of Inglewood Dr. and Parkview Place at 12:45 AM for a burglary call.

Shortly after, they received a second call about someone trying to enter the back door of a nearby home.

Officers confronted a man in an alley behind the neighborhood, and say the suspect was holding a gun.
