At least three people were killed and two others were wounded in a shooting spree early Sunday outside a Texas sports bar, according to authorities.
The shooting occurred at Boom Boom Sports Bar in San Antonio just before 3:30 a.m., Police Chief William McManus said.
Police said a fight occurred inside the bar between two people that eventually spilled into the parking lot. The owner was believed to have been trying to close the establishment, which was likely operating after-hours when the altercation began, the chief added.

"He [the suspect] started shooting in the air on his way back to the bar," said McManus. "He encountered many of the people in the parking lot. At the end of that encounter, five people were shot. Two are now dead."
The suspect is still at large, the chief added.
