SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A San Antonio police officer shot in the head by fleeing robbery suspects has died of his injuries.
Authorities announced Friday that 31-year-old Robert Deckard died at a San Antonio hospital, 12 days after being shot during a high-speed chase.
Police Chief William McManus said in a statement the Deckard family thanked the community for prayers and support over the last several days.
The family issued a statement earlier in the week saying there was nothing more doctors could do to save the officer. His organs will be donated in the coming days.
