SAN ANTONIO – Gunfire targeted at a West Side home early Friday morning wounded a dog but didn’t hit anyone, according to San Antonio police.
The shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. at a home in the 500 block of North San Bernardo Avenue, not far from North General McMullen Drive and Rosedale Park. The incident was the third reported shooting of the morning.
According to police, someone drove up and parked on a street nearby and got out and looked at the home. That’s when, police say, the shooter went back to their car, got a rifle and started firing at the house.
Police said that home and a house close by were both struck by the gunfire. As many as 28 gunshots in total were fired during the shooting. Markers could be seen on the ground. There were no reports of any injuries, but a dog was shot in the leg.
Animal Care Services later arrived at the home to care for the dog. The shooter, however, has not been found.
SAPD said all three shootings on Friday appear to be unrelated, as different calibers of weapons were used in each incident.
The investigations into all the shootings are ongoing.
