San Antonio police said officers arrived to find two people in the parking lot with gunshot wounds. They were taken to hospital and their injuries are life-threatening.

An officer at the scene said it was likely a “drug deal gone wrong” between an individual and a group of three minors.

Blanco Road is closed in both directions while officers investigate.
