Search is on for multiple suspects who reportedly arrived armed
(Guadalupe County) – Guadalupe County Sheriff’s investigators continue to piece together exactly what happened at a Seguin area party, in which three people were shot. The incident was reported around 2 a.m. Saturday at a home located in the 5900 block of FM 1117.
According to reports, deputies arrived and learned that 50 to 80 people were at the party when approximately 6 to 8 male subjects arrived wearing ballistic vests, ski masks, and some of them were armed with guns.
Deputies say these subjects were allowed into the party and then allowed to shoot on the back end of the property. As the party continued, they say the male suspects began to point their firearms at other partygoers. At some point, this escalated into a verbal altercation, which led to shots being fired at people at the party.
According to witnesses, the male suspects were believed to be from San Antonio, and left the scene in a blacked out large SUV. Approximately 15 rounds were fired during the incident, and three people were hit. The victims suffered what authorities are calling non-life-threatening injuries. Two of the victims were treated at a local hospital and later released. The third victim was transferred to a hospital in San Antonio. The names and ages of the victims have not yet been released.
Meanwhile, investigators say they are searching for the identities of the shooters in this case.
