San Antonio Police Department is currently investigating an early morning shooting that took place on the city's East Side, where a woman was struck in the thigh by gunfire. The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of St. James Street and North New Braunfels Avenue, with responders arriving to find the victim and over 60 shell casings scattered around the scene. The woman, said to be in her 40s, was with a male companion when the shooting unfolded, as KENS 5 reported.

Details are sparse, but according to witness statements, a vehicle with three men approached the home before the occupants exited and began shooting. The unidentified woman was promptly taken to BAMC, where she has been listed in stable condition, the authorities report apparent progress, in stabilizing the violent outburst that has marred the neighborhood's tranquility. The density of gunfire, evidence by the sheer number of casings found, underscores the severity of the attack.

While the investigation continues, officials have not released descriptions of the suspected shooters or their vehicle, nor has there been any indication of the motive behind the incident. Neighbors are left on edge as questions linger over safety and the brazen nature of this seemingly targeted drive-by shooting.

In a statement obtained by FOX San Antonio, detectives are sifting through evidence, such as the approximately 60 shell casings that littered the ground. The search for answers is on as police urge anyone with information to come forward.
