BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A person is dead, and another is injured after a shooting in the parking lot of a far west Bexar County Amazon warehouse, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting happened Sunday around 10:10 p.m. in the 10000 block of U.S. Highway 90 west, not far from the Loop 1604 interchange.
