SAN ANTONIO — A stray bullet fired during a road rage incident Wednesday morning struck a woman in her 60s as she drove through a quiet East Side neighborhood.

San Antonio Police Department Sgt. J. Vinson said the shooting happened around noon in the 200 block of Kayton Avenue.

Vinson said two drivers on the street were engaged in the road rage incident when one of them threw a bottle of Big Red at the other's car.

One of the suspects got out of his vehicle and opened fire on the other driver, Vinson said.

One of those bullets whizzed past the car and blasted through the windshield of a silver sedan that happened to be in the area.

The bullet hit the sedan's driver, a woman in her 60s, in the arm.

Police said her injuries are not life-threatening.

Jesse Elder, who grew up in the area and lives directly in front of the scene of the shooting, said the front tire of his Mercedes-Benz was also hit by a stray bullet.

As he stood in his driveway holding a small child, he said things like this don't happen here.

"People are going to handle their own problems as they see fit and we are going to take care of each other," he said, adding that the incident really doesn't concern him. "Things are getting better, and there is evidence of that too."
