• Two Bexar County Sheriff's deputies fatally shot Gilbert Flores, 41, last Friday after responding to a domestic disturbance
• Deputies Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez found a woman and a baby who appeared to be injured at the home
• They first tried to use nonlethal weapons on Flores, but those failed and he continued to resist arrest
• Video of incident appears to show Flores with his hands up moments before being shot
• Sheriff says Flores was armed, but didn't say what type of weapon he had
• Vasquez and Sanchez have been placed on paid administrative leave

Video obtained by a San Antonio TV station appears to show a man with his hands up fatally shot by deputies, an encounter that authorities say happened after the armed man resisted arrest and nonlethal weapons failed to bring him under control.

Gilbert Flores, 41, died shortly after the shooting Friday, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Monday.

Deputies Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez were responding to a domestic disturbance and found a woman with a cut on her head and a baby who appeared injured, according to the statement.

The video, which was shot by a bystander and obtained exclusively by KSAT-TV, shows the deputies encounter with Flores as they attempted to arrest him.
