SAN ANTONIO – The husband of a woman who was hit by a stray bullet that tore into her East Side home late Thursday night says his wife should be OK.
The man, who did not want to reveal his identity, told KSAT 12 News that his wife may need additional surgery to repair bones in her hand that were shattered in the shooting.
He said his 57-year-old wife had been sleeping in a chair in their living room when she heard gunfire outside around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.
As soon as she stood up, he said, a bullet tore through the front of their home in the 700 block of Canton and hit her in her hand.
She was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
