Authorities in San Antonio are actively searching for a driver who allegedly opened fire on Department of Public Safety troopers in the early morning hours this Friday. The events began when a trooper staying at the Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel discovered, at 4:54, that his unmarked patrol vehicle had been stolen along with various items inside.

Shortly after, at 4:58, another department member arrived at the scene after being notified of the incident and spotted a suspicious car, attempting to collect the license plate information. During the pursuit of said vehicle, one of the occupants fired a weapon directly at the trooper.

Fortunately, the trooper was uninjured and decided not to return fire. So far, the identity of the shooter and thief remains unknown to law enforcement authorities. As part of the proceedings, the westbound service road of IH-10 and Spectrum One Street were closed to traffic.

In other recent events, on October 29 the US consulate requested shelter due to operations. Additionally, 22 hours ago it was reported that a pope voted in elections, and since the 29th there has been rain monitoring in counties.
