SAN ANTONIO – A 19-year-old was taken to an area hospital after being shot multiple times while driving on the city’s East Side late Tuesday night, San Antonio police said.
Officers were called just after 11 p.m. to a Chevron gas station in the 4030 block of East Houston Street, not far from AT&T Parkway and Belgium Lane after receiving reports of shots fired.

Both the driver and the passenger said they had no idea as to why someone would shoot at them, police said.
