SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio police are searching for two armed suspects who yelled "I'm going to kill you!" at a mother and daughter outside a Northwest Side mall Tuesday.

Police responded to the threat around 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot of Ingram Park Mall at 6301 NW Loop 410.

The victims, who have yet to be identified but are both adult women, told police that men wearing black handkerchiefs over their faces pulled up next to them in a green SUV.

The suspects jumped out of the SUV, pointed guns at the women and yelled at one of them "I'm going to kill you!"

The women then ran into the Macy's at the mall and called for help.

Witnesses said they heard the suspects fire about two or three gunshot before fleeing the scene.

Police said no demand was made, so the incident is not being considered an attempted robbery at this time.

"The woman and her mother are obviously very shaken up," said Sgt. Jesse Salame, a San Antonio police spokesman. "But they're okay."

The incident comes just days after Jonathan Murphy, 42, was killed and three more injured -- including a suspect -- by gunfire during a botched robbery at a jewelry store at Rolling Oaks Mall in the Northeast Side.

Jason Matthew Prieto, 34, and Jose Luis Rojas, 34, both face aggravated robbery and capital murder charges.

"It's concerning for us," Salame said. "But again, it just highlights the need for everyone to always pay attention. No matter where your surroundings are, no matter what's going on."

This story will continue to be updated as more information is available.
