An employee of a South Side sandwich shop was found shot behind the counter early Friday morning, San Antonio police said.

Officers were called just after 8 a.m. to a Subway restaurant at the Espada North Shopping Center in the 11600 block of SE Loop 410, not far from Roosevelt Avenue after receiving reports of a woman injured.

According to police, someone entered the store and found the female employee, a woman in her 30s or 40s, seriously wounded.

Police said no one was inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting, and that the shooter ran off.

Investigators say surveillance video shows a man in his 30s or 40s inside the store just before the shooting. Police said they do not know if the gunman knew the victim, or if it was an attempted robbery.

Police said the victim was taken to an area hospital in serious condition. Her name was not released.
