One man is dead and another is injured after a shooting late Sunday in the parking lot of an Amazon warehouse on the far Westside of Bexar County, Texas, authorities said.
The gunfire erupted just after 10 p.m. Sunday in the 10000 block of U.S. Highway 90 West, near Loop 1604 and Pue Road, in the parking lot of the Amazon Fulfillment Center, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies said two people were shot and taken to University Hospital, with one initially reported to have life-threatening injuries.
By Monday morning, one of the victims—a 26-year-old man—had died after being rushed to the hospital in critical condition, the sheriff’s office confirmed to numerous outlets. The other victim is expected to survive. Officials have not released the names or ages of either victim, other than confirming the deceased man’s age.

A spokesperson for Amazon did not immediately respond to NTD News request for additional details or for comment.
That Georgia shooting unfolded before dawn on a Monday at the warehouse on the city’s east side. The suspect, 22-year-old Mylen Belyue, fired several rounds into the building from outside, then moved a short distance away, where officers confronted him, the Columbus Police Department said. No one else was hurt in that incident. Columbus is about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta.
Officers were sent to the fulfillment center on Chatsworth Road after multiple 911 callers reported someone shooting into the building just before 4:47 a.m. Police said Belyue fired several rounds from outside the facility before the brief standoff in which he shot himself.
In Bexar County, the sheriff’s office is urging anyone with information about Sunday night’s parking lot shooting to come forward as investigators work to determine what triggered the attack and who was responsible.
