A confrontation between neighbors on the south side of San Antonio turned violent early Monday morning, leaving two individuals injured from gunshot wounds. According to local authorities, the incident occurred after a dispute about a gathering at a residence in the 1400 block of Caballero Drive, near South Zarzamora Street. Both a 19-year-old man and a woman in her 30s were shot by their neighbor during the altercation.
San Antonio Police swiftly responded to the scene following reports of a disturbance between the neighbors at approximately 12:54 a.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the 19-year-old man and the woman had sustained gunshot wounds as a result of the altercation.
