San Antonio police said the shooting on Monday night left three people wounded, including a 3-year-old.

According to SAPD, two groups of people fired on each other in the parking lot of the grocery store located at the intersection of San Pedro Avenue and Oblate Drive.

One of the victims, a man in his 20s, was found in the back of the store with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

No additional information about the suspect was released by police as of Thursday morning.
