(CNN)Two people are dead and police officer was wounded after a traffic stop Friday ended in gunfire, according to the San Antonio police chief.
A fourth person was wounded and has been hospitalized, Chief William McManus said during a brief news conference, noting that his information was preliminary.
Based on his review of the body camera footage, McManus said a San Antonio officer made a traffic stop and had what appeared to be a casual conversation with the driver of the truck for a few minutes.
The driver then pulled a gun for unknown reasons and opened fire, hitting the officer in the hand, McManus said.
The officer retreated backwards while returning fire, killing both the driver and a passenger, and wounding another passenger in the upper torso. Multiple rounds were fired by both the person inside the vehicle and the officer, according to the chief.
The chief said he did not know what prompted the officer to pull the truck over.
"He was an officer patrolling here, (a) routine traffic stop, which turned out to be not so routine after all," McManus said.
Those killed are believed to be males in their mid-to-late 20s, McManus said.
The officer, a five-year veteran, was taken to a hospital. McManus said he had no information on his condition other than he was able to talk.
"I will also say that the officer is very, very lucky to be alive at that close range, having been shot in the hand, and not somewhere else more vital," McManus said.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said police shot and killed a man at the San Antonio airport Thursday afternoon. McManus said police believe it was the same man who was shooting from the overpass of the Loop 1604 and U.S. 281 interchange at about 10:30 a.m. earlier in the day.
Four hours later, McManus said the unidentified man showed up at the airport driving the wrong way on the lower level of Terminal B. An airport police officer confronted the man, who got out of the car and began shooting.
The officer returned fire, hitting the suspect. Police did not say how many shots were fired but said the man had a. .45 caliber handgun and a box of ammunition.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
"The officer saved many lives. What we had there was the start of an active shooter situation," McManus said. "We are very lucky today."
McManus said the man matched the description of the person who was shooting from the interchange but did not know what led to the shootings.
According to the police chief, SAPD has a history with that individual concerning
mental health issues.
The FBI said it does not believe it was an act of terrorism.
One person inside the airport was treated after they were hit by shrapnel from the bullet and a second was taken to the hospital with a broken ankle from running from the scene, McManus said.
Tom Bartlett, the deputy director of the aviation department, said the arrival level remains closed. Passengers can be picked up on the departure level, he said.
The San Antonio Airport is under lockdown after an officer-involved shooting Thursday afternoon, San Antonio police said.
At 2:39 p.m., airport police called SAPD to report a shooting.
In a tweet, SAPD said there is no active threat to the public and the lockdown is a precaution
Two not so good days in San Antonio.
