A San Antonio family's evening drive descended into chaos when their vehicle became the target of a road rage shooter's fury, leaving a 10-year-old boy with a leg injury, authorities reported. The incident erupted on the northeast side at the 8900 block of Airport Blvd around 10:11 p.m. Wednesday, during which an unidentified assailant in a Mercedes fired several shots at the family's SUV, KENS 5 revealed.
In what could have been an irrevocable tragedy, the bullets managed to only graze a 10-year-old seated in the back, requiring nothing more than a bandaid for his wound, after a bullet fortuitously bounced inside the vehicle, striking him in the leg, the family was able to reach the safety of a nearby gas station and promptly summon help.
The identity of the gunman remains a mystery, with San Antonio police conceding the lack of a "good description" of the suspect, and a city-wide manhunt has since been mobilized in response to the attack, as reported by FOX San Antonio.
Witnesses or anyone with information concerning the shooting have been urged to come forward, this senseless act of violence is a poignant reminder of the danger that lurks on our roadways, turning what should be mundane journeys into perilous escapades for families caught in the crosshairs of inexplicable aggression.
