San Antonio police officer fired over allegations he took weapons turned over at gun buyback

The San Antonio Police Department has fired an officer over accusations that he took firearms and ammunition turned in during a gun buyback sponsored last fall by City Councilman John Courage, KSAT reports. On May 9, SAPD indefinitely suspended Officer David Mahula, an 18-year force veteran, after internal investigators determined that he hadn't been truthful when questioned about the weapons, according to disciplinary records cited by the TV station. Internal affairs began looking into Mahula after he worked the Nov. 19 gun buyback in the Alamodome parking lot, according to KSAT.
