SAN ANTONIO – In a disturbing incident of road rage, two individuals were injured, including a pregnant woman, in a shooting that occurred on the Southwest Side of San Antonio. This event highlights the serious implications of aggressive driving and the potential for violent outcomes.

The San Antonio Police Department reported that the shooting took place around 9:30 p.m. on Monday evening in the 5500 block of Little Creek Drive, near Old Pearsall Road. Eyewitnesses and police suggest that tensions may have escalated between drivers, leading to the unfortunate shooting.

A 20-year-old woman, who is approximately six to seven months pregnant, was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure. Thankfully, she and an 18-year-old man who was also injured are both expected to recover from their injuries.

Authorities are currently investigating the specific circumstances of the shooting, including whether the injuries were caused by “birdshot” or shaglass, which can result from various types of projectiles. This detail is crucial in understanding the nature of the attack and ensuring public safety.
