SAN ANTONIO — A woman shot at a west-side CVS was able to drive away to escape further violence Monday afternoon, San Antonio police say.
Officers arrived to the convenience store near Culebra Crossing Shopping Center around 4 p.m. and found a vehicle with bullet holes, authorities say. But no victim was at the scene. Eventually, they found her at a McDonald's down the street where she escaped to after the shooting incident.
