Five wounded in San Francisco shooting
News of the shooting in San Antonio comes on a day when another shooting rocked the western city of San Francisco.
There, the shooting took place outside a supermarket in the Outer Richmond.
The incident came to light around 9 pm on Saturday as police were responding to reports of gunshots.
Upon reaching the scene, they found injured persons outside the supermarket.
Four juveniles sustained non-life-threatening injuries, reports said, while another man was said to be in a critical state.
All five injured were rushed to hospitals.
Although police have said that the shooting was an isolated incident and there appears to be no threat to the public at large, the gunman still remains at large and no arrests had been made as of Sunday.
Detectives probing the case have asked both witnesses and the public to furnish any information that could aid in their investigation.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has also condemned the shooting, saying, ""This kind of violence does not represent who we are as a city, and we will never tolerate it."
