Driver Shot in the Head in Fatal Drive-by Attack

 

SAN ANTONIO, TX — A drive-by shooting left the driver of a pickup pulling a camper trailer dead after being shot in the neck on Loop 1604 West and Bulverde Road early Tuesday morning.

According to KABB, a pickup truck pulling a camper trailer was approached by a car. Then someone from the car fired into the driver’s window, killing the driver.

During the search for the suspect vehicle, a police helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in an H-E-B parking lot on Bulverde Road. No one was injured in that incident.

The female passenger in the truck was transported to the hospital for injures she sustained during the crash.

As of this time, no arrests have been made and the case remains under investigation.
