The San Antonio Police Department has fired an officer accused of holding his wife at gun point, a department spokesman confirmed Friday.

Officer Daniel Lopez was terminated, despite signing a plea deal with the Bexar County District Attorney's Office in January that allows him to keep his peace officer's license.

Lopez was accused of holding his wife and kids at gunpoint in July 2013.

Lopez was originally charged with first degree felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of deadly conduct, after he was taken into custody following a dispute inside his home July 4, 2013. Police at the time said Lopez had struck his wife in the head with a gun, then pointed it at two children inside the home. Lopez eventually surrendered without incident after what was described as a 20-minute standoff with police.
