SAN ANTONIO — Two firefighters were shot at while responding to an emergency call on the west side, according to SAFD.
Police responded to around 2 a.m. to reports of shots fired on the 2500 block of Bandera Rd early Sunday.
Officials say that a suspect in a silver Toyota drove by the first responders while they were out on a call and someone fired off multiple shots in their direction. The SAFD crew then returned to the station to evaluate their injuries.
One of the firefighters suffered a laceration to the left side of his head from a possible graze, while a second firefighter had minor laceration to his arm that he sustained when taking cover.
The suspect vehicle was not found.
This is a developing story.
