A 44-year-old woman was hospitalized following a shooting incident on the Southeast Side of San Antonio, with conflicting reports emerging about the nature of the event. According to KSAT, the shooting occurred before 2:00 a.m. on East Southcross Boulevard. Initially, the woman claimed she had been shot by someone in a passing vehicle but later admitted to San Antonio police that it was an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In a separate account of the incident, Fox San Antonio reported that the woman was walking home from her parents' house when the shooting took place. A dark-colored vehicle reportedly drove past and opened fire, hitting her in the hip. Following the shooting, she was able to walk back to her apartment at the Southcross Villas where her boyfriend then called for help.
The San Antonio Police Department has cited the woman's injuries as non-life-threatening. The initial report by KSAT did not specify whether police are still seeking suspects related to her initial drive-by shooting claim, but police investigation into the matter is ongoing.
As it stands, details between the two reports diverge regarding the circumstances of the shooting, with Fox San Antonio explaining that the woman was struck by gunfire in a purported drive-by scenario. Meanwhile, KSAT's updated narrative reflects the woman's admission to her role in the accidental discharge of the weapon. Despite conflicting reports, the woman is expected to recover from her injuries, and no suspect description has been released by authorities as of yet.
