The San Angelo Police Department is releasing additional details regarding the officer involved shooting incident that occurred yesterday.

• No gunshots occurred inside of the store. Initially, some witnesses reported hearing what sounded like gunshots coming from inside the store. It is believed that the noise was the result of glass breakage when Welborn used an object to smash the store’s gun case.

• The officer discharged his weapon three times. All three shots struck Welborn.

• Welborn remains hospitalized. The extent of his injuries and current medical condition is unknown.
