Midday gunfire brought a rush of squad cars and crime-scene tape to San Antonio’s West Side on Thursday, after a reported shooting near the intersection of Dillon's Vista and Wolf Place. Police and emergency crews arrived shortly after the call came in at about 12:20 p.m., and traffic in the immediate area stayed snarled while officers worked the scene and kept the block sealed off.
On-scene video shows active investigation
Local TV cameras rolled live from the neighborhood as officers walked the street, checked nearby properties and marked evidence. Newsroom video showed a heavy police presence, multiple squad cars and a wide taped-off perimeter. As reported by FOX San Antonio (KABB), the outlet’s live coverage captured the police response along with images from SBG San Antonio, and its initial story went up shortly after 1 p.m. with updates as reporters stayed on scene.
Another incident amid a violent week on the West Side
The broad-daylight gunfire lands on a West Side that has already seen several recent shootings. KSAT reported a June 11 incident in which a woman was shot in a neighborhood on the West Side and a suspect was detained. The San Antonio Express-News detailed an earlier June 1 shooting that left a 16-year-old girl in critical condition. Together, the cases have highlighted an apparent uptick in neighborhood gun violence that city investigators are still trying to untangle.
