SAN ANTONIO — A woman was injured after shots were fired outside of a popular northeast side dancehall early Sunday morning.

Officers were called out to Cowboys Dancehall for reports of shots fired around 2:40 a.m. Sunday.

When police arrived, they contacted the security guard who told them there was a fight in the parking lot and an unknown suspect fired off a handgun into the ground to break it up.

Later, a second call came in at a different location for a 20-year-old woman who discovered she was bleeding after getting home from Cowboys Dancehall. The victim told police she was at the dancehall and saw the man shoot a gun into the ground. Police did not say if she had a gunshot wound or if she was injured by fragments of pavement from the weapon being fired into the ground..

The woman is in stable condition at this time.

No word on whether police apprehended the suspect who fired off the shots.

This is an ongoing investigation.
