From a stabbing on the River Walk to a fatal drunk driving incident, the San Antonio Police Department had a busy weekend.

While there was only one fatal incident, several people were sent to the hospital, including one SAPD officer.

Below are some of the calls SAPD responded to this past weekend.

Saturday:

• 2 p.m.: Two people were shot near the 200 block of Marmok Avenue, police said. The victims said the shooting had occurred a few blocks away and had driven to Marmok to find a safe place to call 911.  
• 5 p.m.: An SAPD officer was injured after he was in a physical altercation with a man who was allegedly threatening two men in a food truck, police said. Officers had to tase the man before he was placed into custody. One officer broke his wrist in the process.
• 11:55 p.m.: A man was hit and killed by a suspected drunk driver near the 5400 block of Wurzbach Road in Leon Valley, police said.

She was arrested on an intoxicated manslaughter charge.
