Woman in critical condition after shooting on west side

Shots were fired after a fight broke out at a party outside of a home.

SAN ANTONIO — A woman is in critical condition after being shot at a party at a west-side home early Saturday morning.

Police responded to reports of a shooting in progress around 4:45 a.m. to the 5400 block of Santa Cruz St.

When officers arrived, they found a woman with a gunshot wound in critical condition. She was taken to University Hospital.

Officials say that a man was having drinks with the people who lived at the home, when some sort of altercation caused the residents to ask him to leave. He returned a short time later with his girlfriend and a second fight broke out.

Multiple shots were fired, with one striking the man's girlfriend.

Police say the man tried to leave to get help, but ended up crashing his car into a parked car down the street.

Police have several people detained for questioning.

Detectives are working to determine who will be charged. 

No other details were provided.
