SAN ANTONIO — Members of an east San Antonio church continue to pray fervently for two congregation members who were shot as they were leaving the Greater Faith Institutional Church after an event Sunday afternoon.
Pastor Rosa Wilson says 24-year-old Rico Steward was in surgery all night after being shot seven times.
Wilson adds a six-year-old boy in the car with Steward was shot once. She says the bullet went through the boy’s shoulder and is now lodged just inches from his heart. The family is praying for healing, saying the boy had significant arterial damage that may have a lasting impact on his ability to use his arm.
