Officers from the San Antonio Police Department were called to the 500 block of Lanark Drive near Windcrest shortly after midnight, according to the daily. Eyewitnesses told police that a 22-year-old attending the five-person party found a gun on a table and began playing with it. When another guest told the man to “put the gun down,” he put the weapon to his head and pulled the trigger, firing a live round.
