San Antonio, Texas – On Wednesday evening, May 8, a shooting in San Antonio, Texas left three children and two adults in critical condition. The incident occurred at a residence on the 6700 block of Windsor Hollow Dr.
County Sheriff Javier Salazar addressed the media during a press conference, stating that law enforcement received a shooting alert around 7:40 pm local time. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found five victims with gunshot wounds, including three children under the age of 10. The youngest victim is a 4-year-old girl, while the adults are in their 20s to 30s.
All five victims were transported to San Antonio Military Medical Center and are currently in serious condition. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the incident and following leads.
