Authorities are now looking for two suspects in the attack. Two adults and two children remain hospitalized.
SAN ANTONIO — One child has died and four other people have been hospitalized with serious injuries, including two young children, after a northeast-side shooting that officials called a “targeted attack” carried out by two suspects now on the run.
A 4-year-old was killed in the attack, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to KENS 5.
Two other victims are 7 and 8 years old, Sheriff Javier Salazar said. The gunfire unfolded at about 7:40 p.m. Wednesday in the 6700 block of Windsor Hollow Drive, he said. Salazar categorized several of the victims’ injuries as “grave.”
“It’s quite possible some young children may lose their lives here,” Salazar said Wednesday evening, before the 4-year-old’s fatality was confirmed.
The sheriff said two suspects are believed to have driven to the home and got as close as 10 or 15 feet before shooting into the residence with long rifles. It’s estimated they shot 20 to 25 times.
Salazar said the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has evidence suggesting the unidentified suspects knew there were children in the residence when they opened fire. They’re now investigating potential leads on the gunmen.
None of the victims, who were taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, have been identified as of yet. At least some are believed to be related.
This is a developing story.
