A shooting incident at a home on the Northwest Side of San Antonio has left a man hospitalized and his wife detained. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, prompting a swift response from San Antonio police.
Authorities received a call reporting shots fired at around 4:10 a.m. and quickly arrived at the residence located in the 14000 block of Rocky Pine Woods Street, near Interstate 10 and DeZavala Road. Upon their arrival, officers discovered the man with a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. He was immediately transported to University Hospital, where he is currently listed in stable condition.
The police have detained the man’s wife for questioning in connection with the shooting. Thankfully, the couple’s four children, aged three, five, six, and eight, who were present at the time of the incident, were unharmed. The children are now under the custody of the police and will be transferred to Child Protective Services.
Authorities have assured the public that the children are safe and that they were not in the room where the shooting occurred. However, the investigation is ongoing, and details surrounding the motive or circumstances of the shooting remain unclear. Both the husband and wife are reportedly uncooperative with the police, hindering the progress of the investigation.
Upon searching the residence, officers discovered several firearms. They are currently working to determine which weapon was used in the shooting. The San Antonio Police Department, alongside the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS, responded promptly to the incident, ensuring the safety and well-being of those involved.
As the investigation continues, the police are refraining from classifying the shooting as the result of a domestic dispute or domestic violence. The focus of the investigation remains on gathering information and conducting interviews to ascertain the truth behind this unfortunate incident.
