Police Say Shots Came From Large SUV
San Antonio police told KENS5 that officers were called around 9:30 p.m. Monday to the 5500 block of Little Creek Drive, near Old Pearsall Road.

Multiple units responded as officers tried to sort out accounts from drivers and witnesses at the scene.
Victims Hospitalized, Listed As Stable
According to KSAT, the victims were an 18-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman who officers said was about six to seven months pregnant. The woman was hospitalized as a precaution, and both were described as stable by responding crews. Authorities have not released the victims’ names or additional medical information.
Birdshot And Broken Glass Blamed For Injuries
SAPD told KENS5 that investigators believe the injuries were caused by birdshot and shards of broken glass.
