SAN ANTONIO – Three people were hospitalized after a shooting on westbound U.S. Highway 90 early Wednesday morning, according to San Antonio police.

Officers responded around 2:10 a.m. to the 800 block of Cupples Road for reports of the shooting.

Police found three male victims, all in their 20s, suffering from gunshot wounds throughout their bodies, an SAPD officer at the scene said.

The victims were traveling on the highway when a dark-colored Chevy pickup truck struck their vehicle.

They attempted to move away from the truck. However, according to police, the vehicle then repeatedly rammed them from behind until they pulled over, police said.

Someone inside the truck began shooting at the victims before fleeing. SAPD did not have any identifying information on the alleged shooter, aside from the vehicle.

The victims pulled off the highway near the 800 block of Cupples Road and called authorities. All three were taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
