SAN ANTONIO – A bar fight escalated into gunfire early Wednesday morning, leaving three people injured and a suspect on the run.
San Antonio police officers responded to Garden Bistro Bar at approximately 2:06 a.m. near the corner of Blanco Road and Talavera on the North Side, after receiving reports of shots being fired in the parking lot.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a 37-year-old male security guard, who was the complainant, with injuries sustained during the altercation.
Before fleeing the scene, the suspect fired several rounds, striking the building but fortunately not injuring any individuals.
Two additional victims were hurt in the initial bar fight and were subsequently transported to a local hospital for treatment.
“We’re lucky it was nothing major,” said owner Julio Monterroso. “A kid vandalised our door. Armed security was outside and got whammed in the back with a divider, but he’s okay.”Comment with Bubbles
