Early this morning, a shooting incident on San Antonio's northeast side led to the detention of two women for questioning. San Antonio Police Department officers were dispatched to the 13600 block of O'Connor Road after a man reported the shooting just after 1 a.m. According to KENS 5, they found a victim with a gunshot wound to the knee at the scene.
The officers initially treated the shooting as accidental, but discrepancies in the accounts provided by the two women at the scene led to their detention. "Officers determined the shooting was accidental but detained the two women at the scene after they say the two's stories were not adding up," as KENS 5 reported. The authorities are still working to firmly establish who was responsible for discharging the firearm.
Further details emerged from FOX San Antonio, which indicated that differing eyewitness accounts led to the two women being questioned. The man who was shot is receiving medical treatment and is said to be in stable condition at the hospital.
As the investigation continues, the relationship between the victim and the individuals involved remains unclear. The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, was taken to BAMC and is expected to make a recovery. The broader implications of the shooting, the women's involvement, and the circumstances leading up to the incident are yet to fully surface.
