A girl was shot in the chest by another girl during an argument, BCSO said

SAN ANTONIO – A girl who was shot during an argument on Thursday morning has died from her injuries and the suspect has been arrested, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.

BCSO said the girl was shot in her chest at approximately 4:15 a.m. in the 14200 block of Streich Road, not far from Southton Road and Interstate 37 in Southeast Bexar County.

Two girls were having an argument when one of them shot the other, BCSO said. The victim was treated by paramedics at the scene, and it is unclear if she was taken to the hospital.

BCSO spokesman Deputy Johnny Garcia confirmed just before 8:45 a.m. that she died from her injuries.

Deputies searched the property for the suspect and eventually found and detained her, Garcia said.

The names and ages of the victim and suspect have not been released but BCSO officials say both are believed to be juveniles.

This is a developing story. It will be updated as more information becomes available.
