SAN ANTONIO — One person is in custody and police are now left trying to put clues together as to what happened at an east side motel Tuesday morning.
The first call came in as an assault in progress around 11 a.m. at the Super 8 Motel, San Antonio Police said.
When officers were there investigating, other calls came in reporting a shooting. Then about three minutes away, neighbors reported seeing a suspicious man walk into a nearby home.
SAPD said they launched chopper to search the area while officers on the ground searched for that suspicious man. He was detained off the 4800 block of Alfred Street--- less than a mile away from the hotel.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel officers found a young woman who they would only say had been injured.
She was taken to the hospital, but the severity of her injuries are unknown.
Officers said the woman was not an employee of the hotel.
Police say they're trying to put all the pieces together to find out what really happened and the investigation is ongoing. If you saw anything, you are asked to contact SAPD.
Sam Houston High School and Davis Middle School went on lockdowns.
Below is the statement from Sam Houston.
Dear Families,
I want to inform you of an incident that is temporarily affecting our campus. We were made aware of a situation occurring near the school, and as a precaution, we placed the school in a lockout. Officers responded quickly and remain present near our campus to ensure we remain safe. Once the area is cleared, we will lift the lockout.
For clarification, a lockout is a procedure in which the perimeter of the school is secured by personnel, and this includes bringing students who may be outside, into the building. All students and staff remain safely inside, operating in a normal manner, but no individuals are allowed to enter the building unless designated by the principal.
Student safety is a top priority at SAISD schools, and we want to keep families informed of situations as soon as we are able. Thank you for your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Sharene Dixon, Principal
