SAN ANTONIO (WOAI/KABB) — A 4-year-old girl died after she and four others inside a Texas home were shot in a possible targeted shooting.
The shooting happened in a San Antonio neighborhood in the 6700 block of Windsor Hollow Drive Wednesday.
Following the shooting, five people that were inside the home were hospitalized in critical condition - three of the victims were children, according to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar. The 4-year-old girl who died was the youngest victim. The other children were 7 and 8 years old. Two adults are also in critical condition following the shooting.
Authorities released video showing a grey vehicle pull up then two men run up to the home. A man standing on the porch, just feet away, as the men open fire. Salazar says the weapons used were long rifles. It is estimated that they shot 20-25 times. Salazar said "the front door had so many bullet holes that it looked like Swiss cheese."
At this point, I'm working on the premise that whoever shot the house knew that there were kids inside and I'll be honest with you, this case could go if God forbid that child would come to pass or one of those children should pass away that the charge is easily going to be upgraded to capital murder, said Salazar before the 4-year-old died.Deputies said one of the people shot was possibly exchanging text messages with one of the gunmen, leading up to the shooting.
Both gunmen remained on the run as of Thursday morning.
There is no description for the gunmen at this time.
Police asked the public if they had any information on this shooting to call 210-335-6000.
