A teenage worker's late-night shift ended in gunfire, according to San Antonio police. The young man was sitting in his car after clocking out when he was struck twice by bullets in an attack that has set police on a citywide manhunt for the gunman. The incident took place behind a restaurant in the 6600 block of West Loop 1604, a detail confirmed by multiple reports.
This brazen shooting, as described by law enforcement officials and by KENS 5, occurred "just after midnight" and left the victim injured but stable, with shots penetrating his arm and leg. Although the immediate aftermath saw the shooter escape, police are piecing together this puzzle, delving into whether the teen was a specific target.
Emergency services, including the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS, alike, converged on the scene to tend to the wounded teenager. Swiftly transported to the University Hospital, hopes are high for a full recovery. KSAT reports echoed the same details about the victim's condition and the nature of the injuries sustained during the shooting. However, descriptions of the suspected shooter have not yet surfaced from either police or witnesses, leaving a palpable void in a community grasping for answers.
The San Antonio Police Department is earnestly calling on anyone with knowledge of the incident to step forward.
