Grandma turns teen in to police after he shot sister’s boyfriend, Texas cops say

A Texas teenager shot his sister’s boyfriend and ran from the scene, but his grandmother didn’t let him get far, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

The 16-year-old boy was doing drugs with her sister’s 21-year-old boyfriend, at his apartment in southwest San Antonio near Lackland Air Force Base, around 6 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 9, SAPD said in a release.

They got into an argument and the teenager shot his sister’s boyfriend in the right thigh with a pistol, the release said.

The teen ran away from the apartment but “after a few minutes” his grandma turned him in to police, bringing him to a substation on the city’s south side, along with the handgun he allegedly used in the shooting, SAPD said.

He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful carry of a firearm.

The victim was taken to a hospital, but police did not say what condition he was in.

An investigation is underway.
