A shooting on the Northeast Side of San Antonio led to the partial lockdown of St. Philip’s College on Tuesday afternoon, according to San Antonio police.
The initial shooting happened around 4 p.m. in the 5100 block of North Foster Road. SAPD said a man was shot in the upper body and hospitalized in critical condition.
Authorities are not sure how many other people were involved in the shooting, but a vehicle fled afterward, according to SAPD.
Police said that one or several people later abandoned that vehicle on Dakota Street and ran to a home on South Walters Street near St. Philp’s College, which initiated the lockdown of several buildings.
Five to 10 people were detained after exiting the home and turning themselves in to police, SAPD said.
Some of them told officers that there were still people inside the house, but nobody else had come out after being told to.
According to police, the scene is active after, pending further investigation.
Several streets near the East Side of the college continue to be blocked off.
Shortly before 7 p.m., a St. Philip’s spokesperson said that health professions and applied sciences courses would be held virtually on Tuesday night because of the lockdown.
All other night classes would resume as scheduled, the spokesperson said.
The lockdown ended around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, and, according to the college, all campus activities have resumed.
