6-year-old among four shot at Texas restaurant; gunman at large

SAN ANTONIO – Police in southern US state of Texas said at least four people were shot, including a 6-year-old boy, outside a restaurant on Sunday.

The San Antonio Police Department said they received multiple reports of a shooting at Texas Roadhouse in the parking lot of a popular San Antonio steakhouse.

All three of the adult victims were in their 20s. Two of the three adults suffered life-threatening injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital where they remain in stable condition, police said in a news conference. The 6-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, but his injury is considered non-life-threatening, the CBSNews reported.

A spokesman for the department said officers do not believe the shooting was random, but would not elaborate.

Police said the victims were waiting outside to eat when the shooting occurred. They are looking for a male suspect who ran to a nearby hotel and is still at large.

The masked suspect opened fire about 15 feet from the front of the restaurant, emptying the magazine of a semi-automatic weapon.
