SAPD: Woman dead, another in critical condition after East Side shooting

Victims were among group outside East Side home, police say

SAN ANTONIO – Two women were shot, one of them killed, while standing outside an East Side home early Wednesday.

Officers responding to the call about shots fired in the area found the two victims outside a home in the 500 block of Ferris Avenue shortly after 12 a.m.

They say they also noticed several people walking away from the area.

However, when officers questioned them about what happened, they all denied seeing anything.

Investigators believe the women were among a group of people hanging out outside the home when someone fired the shots.

They said they found shell casings from two different weapons at the scene, and located a gun behind a different home.

Police say both women who were shot are in their 30s, although they did not release any names.

The woman who survived the shooting was in critical condition when she was rushed to a hospital, police said.
