SAN ANTONIO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The Bexar County Sheriff's Office released video of a San Antonio shooting that left a 4-year-old child dead and two other children wounded.

Sheriff Javier Salazar held a press conference, where he said at 7:40 p.m. Wednesday, deputies responded to a shooting at a townhome at the 6700 block of Windsor Hollow.

When they arrived, they found that five people were shot, including three children under the age of 10. He added that the victims were transported to a local hospital, where a 4-year-old girl was pronounced dead from her injuries.

The sheriff added that the surviving victims were 7 and 8 years old, as well as the children's parents, who are 25 and 27 years old.

Video provided by BCSO shows two individuals exit a silver vehicle and begin shooting at the home. Authorities believe the first shooter is a white or Hispanic male, who was wearing a gray hoodie with red shoes. The second shooter was dressed in all black. Both shooters were wearing balaclavas, or ski masks.

Based on the shooters movements and build, Salazar believes the suspects are men in their teens to late 20s.

Salazar said the men were armed with a "Draco," which is street slang for a smaller, pistol variant of the AK-47. According to Salazar, the weapon's short barrel affects how the rounds are fired.

"The rounds, almost as soon as they come out of that gun, are tumbling," Salazar said. "So, when they hit, they hit flat. It's a devastating wound that makes."

Salazar said investigators recovered 32, 7.62 rounds.

Authorities shared a stock photo of an medium to dark gray Infiniti Q50, which they believe is the same as the vehicle that the suspects were seen in.

As for the motive, Salazar said the suspects were surgical and were set out to inflict the maximum amount of damage they could on the occupants of that home.

"Is it going to give me great pleasure to charge both of these two guys with capital murder when the time comes? Absolutely, it's going to. I can promise you that," Salazar said.

Those with information are asked to contact the Bexar County Sheriff's Office at (210) 335-6000, or through email, at BCSOTips@bexar.org.
