McManus: The mother, father and child were the only people in the house when the shooting happened
SAN ANTONIO – A 4-year-old boy has died after a shooting at a Northwest Side home, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said at a news conference Monday.
Officers responded to the home around 3 p.m. in the 10000 block of Windstone Creek. McManus said police received two calls — one from inside the home and one from outside the home — both reporting a gunshot.
The father was rendering first aid to the boy when officers arrived, McManus said. The 4-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
