A man and a woman in their 20s were rushed to the hospital Monday evening after gunfire broke out at an apartment complex in Converse, and police are still searching for two suspects who fled the scene. Converse police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting in the 9200 block of FM 78, a stretch of road adjacent to St. Monica Catholic Church.
Officers arriving at the Waterford Apartments found the man and woman suffering from gunshot wounds, according to Lieutenant George Shaw of the Converse Police Department, as reported by KSAT. Both victims were taken to a hospital, and their conditions were not immediately available, per the same account. News4SanAntonio likewise reported that two people were hospitalized, and described three victims—two males and a female believed to be in their 20s—who suffered gunshot wounds and were taken to a local hospital.
Accounts Differ on Number of Victims
News4SanAntonio's report contains both accounts: it says two people were hospitalized, but also describes three victims—two males and a female believed to be in their 20s—who suffered gunshot wounds and were taken to a hospital.
What investigators have been consistent about is that two suspects were involved and that both fled before officers arrived. Converse police are searching for the two suspects, according to Lieutenant Shaw, and investigators believe the pair shot the man and woman found at the Waterford Apartments.
Police Call It an Isolated Incident
Preliminary information from police described the shooting as an isolated incident involving two possible shooters who left the area, according to News4SanAntonio's report. Investigators cautioned that the investigation was ongoing and that all information was preliminary and subject to change, the outlet noted.
No arrests had been announced as of the latest reporting, and the conditions of the hospitalized man and woman remained unknown. Converse police have not released further details about a motive or the relationship, if any, between the victims and the people who shot them.
