A Targeted Attack Leaves A Man And Child In Critical Condition


Police in San Antonio, Texas, are investigating a shooting incident that took place Sunday afternoon and left one man in critical condition and a 6-year-old boy injured.

Investigators arrived at the scene at the 4400 block of Lord Road near Martin Luther King Drive and WW White Road shortly after 3:00 p.m.

Chief William McManus of the San Antonio Police told reporters that a man in his mid-20s was on his way to an even at Greater Faith Institution Church along with his girlfriend and their 6-year-old when the incident took place.

A male suspect was waiting for the trio under a tree when they pulled into the parking lot. He then rushed to the vehicle before they could exit and opened fire.

According to McManus, the man and boy were shot in the crossfire. The man remains in critical condition while the child sustained a gunshot wound to the shoulder and is expected to survive. The girlfriend did not receive any injuries.

After the attack witnesses saw the shooter running through the neighborhood wearing no shoes.

McManus says the shooting was not a random act of violence, noting the intended target of the attack was the man.

“All of the violence in throughout the city is stepping over the line, but when you do it at a church event, that’s pretty much unheard of and we are going to stop at nothing to capture this individual,” McManus said. “This is uncalled for insanity that someone would be brazen enough to do this, on a Sunday afternoon, at a church event.”

 

The department is currently following up with leads which the police chief said will hopefully allow investigators to close the case sooner rather than later.
