A 35-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were found dead from gunshot wounds along IH-10 East in Schertz early Sunday morning, after officers responding to a disturbance call discovered both victims at the scene. Despite life-saving efforts, neither survived.
Disturbance Call Leads to Grim Discovery
According to KABB, Schertz police officers responded around 12:40 a.m. to the 14400 block of IH-10 East for a disturbance call. As reported by News 4 San Antonio, officers arrived to find the woman and man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Both were pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving measures.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner had not released the victims’ names as of the report, per the same account. Investigators have not detailed a motive or named any suspects in connection with the shooting.
Police Say No Danger to the Public
Schertz police said they believe the incident is isolated and that there is no danger to the public, according to the station's report. The department has not indicated whether an arrest has been made or how the investigation might proceed from here.
The fatal shooting adds to a string of gun violence reports in Schertz this year. In a separate incident, Seguin Gazette reported that Schertz police sought the public’s help finding people involved in a double shooting that took place in the wee hours of a Wednesday morning in the city. In that case, two males believed to be about 17 years old were recovering at an area hospital, according to Schertz Police Department Public Information Officer Anna Kraft, who said investigators believed multiple people were connected to that shooting. The evidence does not establish any connection between that earlier case and the fatal shooting along IH-10 East.
