At least one person was injured when gunfire erupted Sunday morning at a fleet market in San Antonio, police said. The three injured people were found in separate areas of the parking lot, police said. Shell boxes were scattered throughout the crime scene and weapons could be seen on the ground and in cars connected to the three injured people, police said.
San Antonio firefighter Russell Johnson told CBS affiliate KENS-TV that maybe 100 shots were fired in the crowded parking lot of Mission Open Air Market.
One of the suspects is in custody and in critical condition, San Antonio police officer William McManus told KENS-TV. There are thought to be multiple shooters. Police said at least two weapons and several rounds of ammunition were recovered.
Witnesses told KENS-TV that the shooting turned out to be a conflict between vendors. Police said they did not believe innocent bystanders were shot.
Also Sunday, three police officers were shot dead in an unrelated shooting in Cedar Park, Texas, a suburb of Austin, officials said. Cedar Park police tweeted the suspect was not in custody and described the scene as “very active.”
Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement on Sunday saying “our hearts are with the policemen who were injured” during the Cedar Park shooting.
