Two people are reported dead following an exchange of gunfire in San Antonio, Texas Friday.
According to ABC affiliate KSAT-TV, a police officer, who was shot in the hand during the traffic stop, exchanged gunfire with another individual.
Police Chief William McManus, who stressed to KSAT that the information he was giving was preliminary, said he had a chance to review the officer s body camera video.
The officer, a five-year veteran with the department, reportedly stopped a pickup occupied by three people just before noon.
McManus told KSAT the officer appeared to have a casual conversation with the driver for a few minutes before the driver pulled a gun and fired at the officer, hitting him once in the hand and once on his radio.

Bianca Davila knew early on that her youngest child, Jordan Castillo, had special needs.
Jordan was not hitting his developmental milestones and was having behavioral issues that prompted their pediatrician to refer him to the Center for Healthcare Services.
There, Davila met families who recommended IDEA Public Schools, a fast-growing charter network that boasted a nearly 100 percent graduation rate. No problem that Jordan needed special education services. IDEA could help him, Davila was told.
She enrolled Jordan in IDEA Eastside for kindergarten. But for the next three years, she said, she had to fight all the way to the network’s highest levels to get Jordan tested for special needs. He received a diagnosis toward the end of second grade, she believes, only because she had emailed and called IDEA leaders at their headquarters.
