ST. PETERSBURG -- A police officer shot and wounded a man that pointed a gun at officers who were responding to a report of a domestic dispute Sunday night.

The shooting victim has been identified by police as Roberto Garcia Lara, 42, of 6528 12th St. N.

The incident started when St. Petersburg police received a call from an alarm company at about 9 p.m. in reference to a woman screaming.

Police said the woman may have pushed a panic button on the alarm system at the home at 6528 12th St. N. Representatives with the alarm company heard the woman yelling and notified police.

When officers arrived, they found a "very emotional" woman in the front yard, said St. Petersburg Police spokesman Bill Doniel. The woman told police her husband was suicidal.

"She told officers they were having an argument and that he wanted to kill himself," Doniel said.
