Schertz police are investigating a tragic incident that left two people dead early Sunday morning. Officers were dispatched to a disturbance call just before 1 a.m. in the 1400 block of Interstate 10 East, a busy corridor that runs through the heart of the city.
When officers arrived, they found a 35‑year‑old woman and a 40‑year‑old man with multiple gunshot wounds. Both victims had already succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet released the names of the victims, and the investigation is ongoing.
Police officials said they believe the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing threat to the public. “We are treating this as a single, isolated event,” a spokesperson for the Schertz Police Department said. “There is no indication of a broader danger to the community at this time.”
Authorities have not confirmed whether the two individuals knew each other, and they have not disclosed whether a firearm was recovered at the scene. The police department is asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
