A man who shot at deputies and barricaded himself in his home Tuesday evening was identified by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.

Jack Andrew Smith, 58, is charged with aggravated assault against a public servant, retaliation and assault of a family member. His bail totals $105,000.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said a woman called 911 saying that she was assaulted by Smith at about 6:30 p.m. in the 6000 block of Firestone Parkway.

"Deputies then started hearing gunshots coming from the house," Salazar said. "We do believe that he was shooting at the deputies."

The man may have been using a rifle to fire at the deputies before he locked himself inside the home, according to authorities.

Salazar said the deputies moved the woman away from the house and evacuated the surrounding homes.

A county SWAT team surrounded the residence as negotiators tried to communicate with Smith.

He eventually surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody Tuesday night. No one else was inside the house.

"Nobody is hurt in this incident. I think that's the most miraculous thing that came out of this," Salazar said. "My understanding is that he was heavily armed."

One dog was grazed by a bullet after it confronted a deputy outside the home, Salazar said. The dog is expected to be OK.

Smith was still in jail as of Wednesday evening.
