It was a chilling Saturday night in San Antonio when a seemingly ordinary task took a dangerous turn. Imagine taking out the trash and suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a frightening encounter. That’s exactly what happened to an 18-year-old man on the Northeast Side of the city.

The Shocking Incident

On Saturday, around 9:45 p.m., the young man stepped outside his home in the 1400 block of Norfleet Street just to dispose of his garbage. Little did he know, life was about to throw him a serious curveball.

Without warning, the masked suspects opened fire, shooting him multiple times. Thankfully, we’re relieved to report that the injuries he sustained are not life-threatening. After this terrifying ordeal, the victim was swiftly taken to a local hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment. While the wounds may heal, the psychological impacts of such an encounter might linger a lot longer.

The Aftermath and Search for Suspects

Once the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) got wind of the situation, immediate action was taken. They launched a search for the masked suspects, employing the use of the EAGLE helicopter to soar above the streets of San Antonio and scour for any sign of the elusive trio. Unfortunately, their efforts to locate the suspects were unsuccessful, leaving a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the neighborhood.
