A woman is dead and another was injured after two teenage boys targeted the wrong home in a drive-by Tuesday morning in far west Bexar County, according to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar.
The sheriff said in a news conference that a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old were arrested in connection with the shooting that happened at about 12:40 a.m. in the 11400 block of Bald Mountain Drive. Authorities have not identified the teens.
According to Salazar, the teens were intending to commit a drive-by shooting but got the wrong house, killing a 25-year-old woman who was working on her computer when upwards of 100 rounds of various calibers were fired into the home. Salazar described the home as looking like Swiss cheese.
An Airbnb guest at the home was shot in the leg and taken to the hospital for treatment.
Salazar said deputies patrolling the area heard the gun shots and shortly after a call came in about the shooting. When the deputies arrived at the home, they noticed a car speeding away from the area. Salazar said he believes the car was stolen.
One deputy stayed behind at the home, where the two women were found, while another deputy gave chase to the vehicle. With the help of the San Antonio Police Department's Eagle helicopter, BCSO was able to stop the car near Texas 151 and Acme Road and take the teens into custody.
Salazar said the guns used in the shooting were likely stolen but have not been found. The sheriff said the weapons may have been in someone's backyard as the teens attempted to evade authorities and asked anyone who may have stumbled across them to call the sheriff's office.
The sheriff said BCSO is seeking a warrant to search the vehicle but doesn't believe the weapons are inside.
