West Side home hosting children's sleepover sprayed with gunfire

All ten people inside home escaped injury, police say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police say someone fired shots into a West Side home early Monday morning where children were taking part in a sleepover.

Based on the number of shell casings found in the street, it appears that more than a dozen shots were fired toward the home, located in the 7400 block of Westfield Drive.

Several bullet holes also were visible on the front walls of the home.

Police received the call shortly before 4:30 a.m. and spent nearly two hours collecting evidence at the scene.

They say ten people were inside the home at the time, including several children who were visiting. No one was hit by the gunfire.

Investigators were not able to find anyone who witnessed the shooting. However, they suspect the shooter was in a car.
