San Antonio police say two minors were injured in a shooting Sunday evening, Feb. 29, 2017, on the Northeast Side.

Two minors were wounded Sunday evening after a vehicle drove down a Northeast Side street and used assault rifles to fire gunshots at one of the homes, police said.

Authorities were called around 6 Sunday evening to the 4000 block of Sunrise Creek Drive, where they found numerous shell casings from the rifles down the entire street. San Antonio police Sgt. Michael Fletcher said several residents were sitting outside when the suspects vehicle pulled up at a high rate of speed and started shooting at one of the houses.

Two juveniles sustained injuries during the shooting and were taken to the hospital, Fletcher said. One victim received a single gunshot wound that pierced through both legs, and the other was injured by glass shrapnel that hit her in the face.

Detectives found several calibers of shell casings on the street, indicating that the suspects used different types of assault rifles in the shooting.

Fletcher said authorities do not have a description for the suspects’ vehicle. A motive is unclear. This is the third shooting in the last five months at this location, he added.

“It’s not the residents at this time, it’s the people that come over,” Fletcher said. “The residents that have been involved in (prior shootings) aren’t even here on location.”
