UPDATE: Shooter Identified in Armed Standoff at Retirement Apartments

Police Chief Travis Griffith said law enforcement received a call at 8:08 a.m. Wednesday regarding a shooting victim who was able to flee the scene. Along with the San Angelo Fire Department, they treated the victim, a 42-year-old woman who is in stable condition at Shannon Hospital.

He added that the residents of Oak Grove were evacuated to safety.

Griffith said the shooting took place inside one of the buildings at the apartment complex.

"We do have the San Angelo SWAT team, and a hostage negotiations team has arrived on scene, along with the criminal investigations division. They're here to hopefully find a peaceful solution," Griffith said. "We ask for people of faith to be praying that we have a peaceful solution to this ordeal and that justice is ultimately the outcome."

Nearby Lamar and Bonham Elementary schools were on lockdown, according to several parents who have contacted San Angelo LIVE!, though we have not confirmed this with school officials.

Oak Grove Senior Apartments, 4359 Oak Grove Blvd., is a 143-unit Section 8 housing project located just off Green Meadow Drive near the Southland area of San Angelo.

The Texas Rangers have now assumed the lead in the investigation, working in conjunction with SAPD's Criminal Investigations Division and the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office Investigations Unit.
