SAN ANTONIO – One man is dead and two others are critically injured after a shooting broke out at a Northeast Side apartment complex, according to San Antonio police.
The shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday in the 8000 block of Bentley, not far from Midcrown Drive and Walzem Road on the Northeast Side.
Police said two men, ages 23 and 30, were at the apartment complex when they were approached by two suspects, both 23 years old.
