At least five people were wounded, including one critically, in a shooting at a flea market in San Antonio on Sunday, police officials said.
The gunfire erupted about 11:30 a.m. at Mission Market during a dispute on the grounds, according to Police Chief William McManus.
“This is the result of some type of argument. I don’t know if the argument was between gang members or just people who knew each other or didn’t know each other,” McManus said.
McManus said a security guard also opened fire, but it was not known if the guard is among the wounded.

Not a lot of information from AP. Some people did something. Leaves a lot to the imagination.
Since when do gangs go to flea markets?

Not a lot of information from the chief either.
“I don’t know if the argument was between gang members or just people who knew each other or didn’t know each other,” McManus said.
Now that is some outstanding police work. I'm glad they were able to get to the bottom of it.
Somebody got “disrespected.”
You gotta keep 'em separated.
Not even names.
They probably figured out that giving out the names of certain perps is the same as pointing out their race.
Quite a few have legitimate side businesses at flea markets.
It’s NOW 2220 hours on Sunday evening in San Antonio & our local media is saying ALMOST NOTHING about the shoot-out. = NO NAMES, NO DETAILS & LITTLE else.

Everyone involved or responsible must be a protected minority, obviously.
I knew it was a bad idea to allow fleas to have their own markets.
Lots of activity around SA it seems
Also Sunday, three police officers were shot in an unrelated shooting

Witnesses told KENS-TV that the shooting appeared to be a
conflict between vendors. Police said they did not believe
any innocent bystanders were shot.

Battalion Chief Paramedic Russell Johnson added investigators
found more than 100 shell casings and the incident first was
called out as an active shooter.
You are VERY LIKELY correct. = It’s now after 2300 on Sunday & ZILCH on the local news, other than there was a “shooting incident at Mission Market” today.

McManus said all the wounded were involved in the
shooting and no innocent bystanders were struck.
