San Antonio Burglary Leads to Homeowner Shooting Suspect, Police Respond
You wake up in the middle of the night to a strange sound outside your bedroom window. That’s exactly what happened to a San Antonio couple early Sunday morning—except it didn’t stop at a noise. Within minutes, a man had broken into their home, exchanged gunfire with the homeowner, and then disappeared into the dark.
This happened near Springvale and Evandale Drive on the Northeast Side, around 3:20 a.m. The wife heard something and woke her husband. He grabbed his gun, stepped outside to check, and came face-to-face with an armed intruder. Shots were fired—first by the homeowner, then by the suspect. Thankfully, no one inside the house was hurt. But the suspect? Still on the run.
This wasn’t just a break-in. It was a close-call shootout in someone’s safe space—their home. And while it didn’t make national headlines, it speaks to something bigger: how fast a quiet night can turn into a life-or-death moment…
