A 15-year-old boy was fatally shot in the face with an AR-15 rifle in Texas on Monday, according to police — and the suspect was still at large more than a day later.
Just before 7 a.m. on Monday, officers responded to a call about a shooting at a home in Converse, a city roughly 20 miles northeast of San Antonio, and found the boy "with a gunshot wound to the head" inside.
