A teenager was shot Monday afternoon after he was arguing over tater tots with another teen, San Antonio Police said.
The shooting happened close to 5 p.m. at the Spring Hill Apartments off Raybon on the northeast side.
Neighbors told police the uncle of one of the boys told the teens to stop fighting. They were ready to stop, but investigators said a 20-year-old man would not let them.
“Another person out here in this apartment complex, I think wanted to see the young boys continue fighting,” Sgt. Rudy Cran with SAPD said.
The man then walked into a nearby apartment complex, grabbed a gun and started shooting, authorities said. He fired several shots into the living room where the boys were watching television, police said.
“One of those rounds from that 45 automatic, hit the young man in the back,” Cran said.
The boy was rushed to University Hospital, officials said. His condition was unavailable Monday night.
The suspect remained on the loose Monday. Police were looking for him.
Were they the extra crispy ones?
The perp should be hanged if for no other reason than being stupid. Shooting and killing someone over a serving of tater tots is stupid.other.

"Stop it, I think you're bruising my neckmeat."
looks like he took the gun and was going to make tater tot casserole out of 'em
Re-read the story, he was not shot over a serving of tater tots. The shooter wanted the two teens to keep fighting, they were fighting about the tater tots (which was stupid). I guess that when they stopped fighting, he decided to shoot at them.
