SAN ANTONIO – A 17-year-old is nursing an injury that he suffered after chasing after two car burglary suspects who were both armed with a gun.
San Antonio police say the teen either was grazed by a bullet or struck by flying glass when the suspects shot at him Monday night.
They say the victim and his father had gone outside their home in the 2400 block of McKinley Avenue around 10 p.m. after they heard their car alarm go off.
The pair and another resident found two people trying to break into their vehicle.
Police said the two suspects ran off on foot, but the father and son then jumped into their car and chased after them.
About a block away on Schley Avenue, the father and son caught up with the suspects, who then fired several times at them, hitting the vehicle.
The son was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Police said he should be OK.
Officers later caught the two suspects, who are 16 and 18 years old, and arrested them. Both of their weapons were recovered, police said.
