SAN ANTONIO – A 15-year-old boy is in the hospital and San Antonio police are searching for two men following a stabbing at an apartment complex late Thursday night.
The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 500 block of North General McMullen Drive, not far from Rosedale Park on the city’s West Side.
