Original Story:
San Antonio police spokesman Officer Doug Greene confirmed that police received reports Thursday morning of a gunman who appeared to be shooting at passing vehicles in the La Cantera Parkway and Interstate 10 area.
Some witnesses said that the gunman was in a vehicle. Others said he was on foot, Greene said. So far, there have no reports of victim or damage.
The reports prompted police to ban traffic at La Cantera Parkway and I-10, but it has since reopened.
The San Antonio Police Department, Northside Independent School District and UTSA police departments are in the area.
As a precaution, three NISD schools have been placed on a modified lockdown, district spokesman Barry Perez said. The schools include May, Ellison and Leon Springs elementary. Exterior entrances are secured but activity inside the campuses are normal, Perez said. Texas Military Institute was also placed on modified lockdown.
