According to the release, officers were responding to reports of a homeless woman “last seen wearing blankets” and talking to herself at the 900 block of East Expressway 83 at around 8 a.m.

Responding officers found Wallace at the scene “waving a knife” and walking toward several businesses. At one point, she held the knife to her throat, the release added. 

K-9 officer Mino approached Wallace, causing her to stab him in the left eye, police said. Officers at the scene shot Wallace at her left buttock area before hospitalizing her.

Mino was transported to San Antonio for emergency veterinarian care. On Wednesday, police said his injuries resulted in the loss of his left eye.
