 A second video has emerged showing two Texas police officers shoot and kill a man who appears to have had his hands up. 
 
 The new video shows, a "very clear view" of the confrontation, Bexar County District Attorney Nico LaHood said Tuesday. LaHood said it was unclear what the suspect's intent was in raising his hands and cautioned against a rush to judgment. 
 
 "I don't know what his intent was," he said. "All I can tell you is the video is disturbing. But my encouragement to everyone is to press the pause button." 
 
 CLOSE A new emergency radio recording from an incident near San Antonio in which a man was fatally shot by deputies has been released. The call shows that the man was threatening suicide. VPC 
 
 The shooting was first seen by the public in cell phone footage obtained by a local TV station, KSAT, and available on its website, which shows two San Antonio-area sheriff's deputies shooting 41-year-old Gilbert Flores Friday after they responded to a domestic disturbance call. 
 
 According to another station, KENS-TV, police said the deputies found a woman who was bleeding from her head and holding a toddler, who also may have been hurt. 
 
 At first, Flores is seen running shirtless in front of a home as the officers approach him. He then seems to put his hands up moments before they shoot him to the ground. 
 
 "He put his hands in the air and they just shot him twice," Michael Thomas, the man who KSAT says filmed the video, told the station. 
 
 After the incident, the officers were identified by police officials as Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez. Both have more than 10 years on the force, and have been put on administrative leave pending an investigation. 
 
 Thomas said he recorded the incident because of increased publicity about police-involved killings. 
 
 "I thought with everything going on in the world, with police shootings and everything, I thought I would record what was happening," he told CNN. 
 
 The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said Flores was armed with a knife and resisting arrest when deputies showed up. Neither deputy was wearing a body camera. 
 
 "We are aware that there is recorded video which appears to show the final moments of this deputy-involved shooting," Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said Friday. "It's among many pieces of evidence that we are collecting to determine what happened." 
 
 The incident began when deputies received a call to a block in the northwest section of the city regarding a woman who allegedly had been assaulted, according to Bexar County Sheriff's Office public information officer James Keith. 
 
 According to Keith, Flores at one point grabbed a deputy's taser and threw it as deputies attempted to use non-lethal force during the approximately 20-minute confrontation. 
 
 Because the video is shot from a distance, it's not clear whether Flores is holding a knife, and though it's clear Flores has one hand up, the other is obscured by a utility pole. 
 
 "As the guy and police were going back and forth, the man acted like he was going to run back inside his house and then ran around the cars by the cop car and the cops started pursuing closer to him," Thomas told CNN. 
 
 Authorities said Flores resisted arrest, and that nonlethal force — stun guns and shields — were used to try to subdue him, but those didn't work, Pamerleau said. 
 
 "Certainly what's in the video is a cause for concern," Pamerleau said. "But it's important to let the investigation go through its course so we can ensure a thorough and complete review of all that occurred." 
 
 The Bexar County District Attorney's Office has joined the investigation, according to KSAT. 
 
 Nicholas "Nico" LaHood, the Bexar County district attorney, told KSAT there's a second video of the incident that has a closer and clearer view of what happened. 
 
 James Keith, media relations officer for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, confirmed to CNN that his office has a second video of the shooting by someone else, but he would not go into detail about what it shows.

 Embed Disturbing Video Appears to Show Texas Sheriff's Deputies Shoot Man 1:02 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog 
 
 Video of a fatal police shooting in Texas where the suspect appeared to have his hands up has sparked a growing outcry and appeals for calm from authorities. 
 
 Gilbert Flores, 41, was shot and killed just before noon on Aug. 28 in San Antonio, Texas. 
 
 The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said in an initial statement that deputies responding to a domestic disturbance found a woman with a cut on her head, a potentially injured infant and an armed suspect — presumably Flores. 
 
 "Two deputies attempted to arrest the armed suspect, but he resisted," the statement said. "The deputies used non-lethal weapons to try and detain the man. When those efforts failed, the deputies fired shots hitting the man." 
 
 However, footage shot by a bystander first obtained by ABC News' local affiliate KSAT and posted online has raised questions over the encounter. Captured from a distance, it shows deputies approaching a shirtless Flores — who has one arm obscured by a post. Flores appears to put his hands up in surrender before he is shot multiple times and falls to the ground, motionless. It is not possible to see if Flores had a weapon in one hand which was not visible in the video. 
 
 It was not clear what occurred before the recording began. 
 
 The video is the latest footage of a fatal police shooting to raise questions about use of force. Other cases — like the killing of Michael Brown in Missouri — have sparked widespread protests, though most involved white officers and black victims. Both Flores and the deputies who shot him were Latino. 
 
 “ We’re asking for calm and patience” 
 
 Terri Burke, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said that even though the video "doesn't show every aspect" of the incident, it raises "serious questions" about whether the deputies' use of force was proportional or legal. 
 
 "Like other events that that we've seen across the country involving interactions with law enforcement, this one points to a troubling trend of overzealous and abusive policing," Burke said in a statement. 
 
 The deputies involved in the shooting — Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez — have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation as is customary under such circumstances. Both have been with the sheriff's office for more than 10 years. 
 
 Bexar County Prosecutor Nico LaHood said Tuesday that a second video has emerged that gives authorities a "very clear view" of the confrontation, according to The Associated Press. LaHood described both videos as "disturbing," but cautioned against a rush to judgment as authorities investigate the shooting. 
 
 San Antonio attorney Thomas J. Henry, who is representing the victim's family, told the AP that the Flores family is considering filing a lawsuit to compel authorities to turn over more evidence. 
 
 "Seeing the video, it does appear the immediate danger is gone because he had both hands in the air," Henry said. "Now there are other videos and other pieces of evidence that we want to gather." 
 
 Meanwhile, the FBI said it has initiated a civil-rights investigation into the shooting. 
 
 "Experienced civil rights investigators from the FBI will thoroughly review the facts and circumstances surrounding the shooting," the San Antonio division of the bureau said in a statement. "Our focus is to determine whether a civil rights violation took place as a result of a deputy willfully engaging in the use of excessive or unjustified force." 
 
 Amid the growing outcry, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office slammed the ABC affiliate's decision to post the cellphone video online. The broadcast prompted "physical threats" toward deputies, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post, urging locals to call KSAT and complain.

 "We're asking for calm and patience," it said in a later post. "We are diligently working to complete the investigation so we can move to the next step. We want to get this right for the Flores family, our deputies and our community." 
 
 Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro said that he trusts the local district attorney will pursue an indictment if the evidence merits one, calling the shooting "extremely disturbing." 
 
 "This incident is further evidence that police officers and deputies should wear body cameras," he added. "The widely-supported technology brings transparency and accountability that protects law enforcement and civilians alike."

 The deputies involved in the Flores shooting were not equipped with body cameras, according to the AP. 
 
 On Tuesday — days after the incident — Bexar County approved money for additional body cameras, WOAI reported. ||||| (CNN) Authorities in Texas are examining two videos recorded by bystanders that show sheriff's deputies in Bexar County, Texas, shooting and killing a man. 
 
 One four-minute video has been made public by a San Antonio television station that acquired it from the man who recorded it Friday. It is shot from a distance and it appears that Gilbert Flores has at least one hand in the air (the other cannot be seen) when he is shot. 
 
 The other video has not been released by police. Bexar County District Attorney Nicholas LaHood told CNN the video is "a better view to make an assessment on what happened. It is a closer view and a better angle." 
 
 The incident comes at a time when law enforcement officers are under scrutiny for how and when they resort to lethal force. The killings of several individuals by police over the past year have heightened tensions with the communities they serve, especially among minorities. 
 
 Michael Thomas said the scrutiny of officer-involved shootings is the reason he recorded the first video on his cell phone from the driver's seat of his car. 
 
 CNN affiliate KSAT broadcast his video, which is disturbing as it shows Flores being shot. 
 
 In it, Flores is shirtless, running in front of a home in San Antonio as the two sheriff's deputies approach him as they investigate a domestic violence call. 
 
 "As the guy and police were going back and forth, the man acted like he was going to run back inside his house and then ran around the cars by the cop car and the cops started pursuing closer to him," Thomas told CNN. 
 
 The Bexar County Sheriff's Office has said Flores had a knife and was resisting arrest when deputies approached him. 
 
 "He put his hands in the air and then he had his hands up for a few seconds and the cops shot him twice," Thomas told CNN. 
 
 Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said of the video: "It's among many pieces of evidence that we are collecting to determine what happened." 
 
 The video is shot from a cross street, so it's difficult to see Flores and impossible to hear the conversation between the officers and the suspect. 
 
 Flores steps behind a sheriff's SUV and cannot be seen at times. The only audio that was captured was that of the gunshots and Thomas' reaction. 
 
 Though it's clear Flores has one hand up, the other is briefly obscured by a utility pole. 
 
 The deputies had their weapons trained on Flores throughout the encounter, Thomas said. 
 
 He opened his arms and stepped toward the two deputies before taking a few steps back, Thomas said. 
 
 LaHood cautioned the public not to make judgments based on the first video. 
 
 The second one, recorded by a neighbor, is "troubling, he said, but added, "Before we make decisions on what the next step is, we are going to take our time to receive all the evidence.'' 
 
 Police say he was resisting arrest 
 
 Pamerleau said the incident occurred after authorities responded to a domestic disturbance call coming from Flores' home Friday morning. When they arrived, they found a woman and baby, both of whom appeared to be injured. 
 
 The woman had suffered a cut on her head, and the baby also appeared hurt, the sheriff's office said. 
 
 Authorities say Flores resisted arrest and nonlethal force -- stun guns and shields -- were used to try to subdue him, but those didn't work, Pamerleau said. 
 
 "Certainly what's in the video is a cause for concern," Pamerleau said. "But it's important to let the investigation go through its course so we can ensure a thorough and complete review of all that occurred." 
 
 She said both deputies fired shots after a "lengthy confrontation." 
 
 The sheriff's office identified the deputies as Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez. CNN attempted to contact them late Monday. 
 
 Vasquez and Sanchez have been with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office for more than 10 years, according to Pamerleau. They have been placed on administrative leave. 
 
 The Bexar County District Attorney's Office has joined the investigation, according to KSAT. 
 
 Flores had previous run-ins with the law. He was cited for possession of marijuana in 1995, criminal trespassing and aggravated assault in 1999, and aggravated robbery in 2003. 
 
 The FBI is involved in the investigation, LaHood said Tuesday. 
 
 'Threats to our deputies' lives' 
 
 The station posted the entire video on its website. "Other than editing for language, the video is the entirety of what we received from Michael Thomas," it said. 
 
 The station told the sheriff's office about the video and sent it there, but the station did not give any warning that it would post the entire raw video Monday, James Keith, media relations officer for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, said. 
 
 Now, Keith says, the sheriff's office is worried about the safety of its deputies in light of the video's public release. 
 
 On Monday, the sheriff's office tweeted a statement that said "broadcasting a man's death for $100 sparked threats to our deputies' lives. Let KSAT know what you think." 
 
 KSAT explained in a post on its website the decision behind showing the video and the discussions station management had with Thomas. 
 
 "Before sharing the video with us, Thomas asked for payment. While most viewers share video with us at no charge, we agreed to pay Thomas a $100 licensing fee for the video. It is not uncommon for news organizations to pay for video from freelancers or citizen journalists." 
 
 The station said it was making no judgment about the officers' actions, but it was obligated to share "information in the public interest."

 When asked about the sheriff's office tweet, Keith cited the case of Darren Goforth , a deputy who was shot from behind and killed while filling up his car at a gas station. 
 
 "After what happened in Harris County, we are not going to take any chances," Keith said. "Now our deputies are coming to work in civilian clothes because of their concern for safety." 
 
 Hours later, the sheriff's office sent out a message with the following statement: "In regards to the deputy involved shooting, we're asking for calm and patience. We are diligently working to complete the investigation so we can move to the next step. We want to get this right for the Flores family, our deputies and our community." 
 
 In an opinion piece, CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos reminds readers that several things that the video didn't include will be crucial issues in an investigation. For one, the video doesn't provide audio of the exchange between the police and Flores. 
 
 Any threats of violence would be important to consider, he writes. 
 
 More officer cameras 
 
 The administrative body in Bexar County, the Commissioners Court, on Tuesday approved a budget that included 185 cameras for the sheriff's department. 
 
 Thirty-four of the units can be used to as a dashboard recorder and a body camera. 
 
 Neither deputy involved in the shooting was wearing a body camera.

 San Antonio, the second-most populous city in Texas, is in Bexar County. ||||| SAN ANTONIO - The unedited version of a video obtained by KSAT 12 News showing the fatal shooting of a man by two Bexar County sheriff deputies will now be made available for online viewing. 
 
 The video will include the actual moment the 41-year-old suspect, Gilbert Flores, was shot outside a home in the 24400 block of Walnut Pass. The video also shows what deputies Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez did moments after the shooting. Vasquez and Sanchez are on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. 
 
 VIEWERS ARE TO BE FULLY AWARE THAT THE VIDEO MAY BE DISTURBING TO THEM IF THEY CHOOSE TO VIEW IT. 
 
 On Friday, KSAT 12 News obtained video showing the shooting of Flores by the deputies during a domestic violence call. At that time, we chose not to show the moment he was shot. 
 
 The Bexar County Sheriff's Office and District Attorney's office have addressed the incident, and commented on the video, which calls into question whether the shooting was justified. Now that there is an ongoing investigation by both agencies, and following additional discussions within our newsroom, KSAT 12 News has decided to make the entire video available online. 
 
 Providing the video on KSAT.com allows for viewers to make their own decision on whether to click on a link to see the video. Other than editing for language, the video is the entirety of what we received from Michael Thomas. 
 
 Copyright 2015 by KSAT - All rights reserved. ||||| SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A second video has emerged that gives authorities a "very clear view" of a confrontation between deputies and a Texas man who had his hands raised before he was shot and killed, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

 Bexar County District Attorney Nico LaHood described the new video and one broadcast earlier as "disturbing," but cautioned against a rush to judgment as authorities investigate the shooting that killed 41-year-old Gilbert Flores northwest of San Antonio. 
 
 An initial video recorded by a motorist from some distance was posted online by a San Antonio TV station. It shows Flores outside a residence Friday facing two deputies when he raises his hands — one arm obscured by a utility pole. The deputies fired multiple times. 
 
 Sheriff's officials say Flores was armed, though didn't specify with what, and that nonlethal efforts to subdue him, including a Taser, were unsuccessful. LaHood declined to say Tuesday whether Flores' arm motion was surrender. 
 
 "I don't know what his intent was," he said. "All I can tell you is the video is disturbing. But my encouragement to everyone is to press the pause button." 
 
 San Antonio attorney Thomas J. Henry, who is representing the family, said in an interview Tuesday that the initial video appears to show that deadly force was unnecessary but he is seeking more evidence. 
 
 "From a lay perspective, seeing the video, it does appear the immediate danger is gone because he had both hands in the air," Henry said. "Now there are other videos and other pieces of evidence that we want to gather." He said the family is considering filing a lawsuit to compel authorities to turn over more evidence. 
 
 Flores' death is the country's latest law enforcement shooting to draw heavy scrutiny for using deadly force in a situation where it may not have been necessary. Law enforcement officials in the U.S. have expressed concern that the deadly confrontations have spawned retaliatory shootings of officers, including last week's death of a suburban Houston deputy at a gas station. 
 
 The second video was recorded by a witness closer to the incident, LaHood said, but he declined to provide further information about what it reveals or when authorities acquired it. An investigation is underway to determine whether the deputies will face criminal charges or whether the danger to them was imminent, LaHood said. 
 
 Deputies Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez, who were not equipped with body cameras at the time of the encounter, have been placed on administrative leave. Sanchez has worked more than 20 years with the sheriff's office and Vasquez has been with the agency more than 10 years, according to records with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. Both had received training in use of force and nonlethal devices. 
 
 Michelle Lee, a special agent for the FBI in San Antonio, confirmed Tuesday that "experienced civil rights investigators" are monitoring the investigation. 
 
 The deputies had responded to a domestic disturbance, authorities have said, and found a woman at the residence with a cut on her head and a baby who appeared to be injured. Sheriff's officials have not indicated whether they believe Flores harmed the two. 
 
 Attempts to contact members of Flores' family were unsuccessful Tuesday, but Henry said that Flores' wife is devastated. The couple have a child who is just 21 days old, he said. 
 
 Bexar County court records show Flores was convicted in 2003 of aggravated robbery, and the San Antonio Express-News reports he also has a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon. 
 
 U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, who represents part of the San Antonio area, said in a statement that Friday's shooting was "extremely disturbing." 
 
 "This incident is further evidence that police officers and deputies should wear body cameras," he said. "The widely supported technology brings transparency and accountability that protects law enforcement and civilians alike." 
 
 Bexar County commissioners approved a county budget Tuesday that includes more than $630,000 to provide deputies with body cameras and also cameras for patrol vehicles.

 Associated Press writer David Warren contributed to this report from Dallas.
– Minutes before two police officers shot and killed 41-year-old Gilbert Flores in San Antonio on Friday, a 911 dispatcher said the suspect was "threatening suicide by cop." Officers arrived at a home after reports of a 38-year-old woman with a head injury and a 2-month-old child with a black eye, reports USA Today. Police say they tried to detain a shirtless Flores, who was Latino, with non-lethal weapons, per NBC News. But a man who recorded video of the incident tells CNN that the officers, also Latino, had their guns pointed at Flores during the entire 20-minute encounter. As Flores evaded cops outside, he "acted like he was going to run back inside his house and then ran around the cars by the cop car and the cops started pursuing closer to him," Michael Thomas says. "He put his hands in the air and then he had his hands up for a few seconds and the cops shot him twice." Thomas' video shows Flores with at least one arm raised when officers opened fire; his other arm is obscured by a utility post. A district attorney says a second video, recorded by a neighbor, shows "a better view to make an assessment on what happened. It is a closer view and a better angle." It has not been shared with the public, though a lawyer for Flores' family tells the AP he may file a lawsuit pressing police to release the footage. "With everything going on in the world, with police shootings and everything, I thought I would record what was happening," says Thomas, who sold his video to KSAT for $100. KSAT says its job is to share "information in the public interest" and "it is not uncommon for news organizations to pay for video from freelancers or citizen journalists." Bexar County police say the move has "sparked threats to our deputies' lives" and "deputies are coming to work in civilian clothes because of their concern for safety."
