SAN ANTONIO – Christmas morning turned deadly on the San Antonio's Northeast Side.
San Antonio police investigators said a woman was shot by her boyfriend during a Thursday morning altercation at their home in the 4200 block of First View.
During the argument the man pulled a gun and shot his girlfriend in the chest, investigators said.

The shooting had nearby residents on alert.
"It's been crazy all morning," said Pam Newell. "It's a shame. (I'm) not even sure what happened."
Juarez said the man will be charged with murder.
