In a bizzare incident outside a Topgolf chain in San Antonio, three people are in critical condition after a fight started in the parking lot, according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.

A furious driver shot and wounded three people after being confronted about his speed in the parking lot. The total number of people involved in the fight is still unknown but according to police, there were around 10 people when the incident took place.

The victims are at University Hospital in critical condition, one victim was shot in the chest while two others hit in the back, said San Antonio police Chief William McManus.

San Antonio fire fighters and officers reached the famous golfing entertainment complex, in 5500 block of N. Loop 1604 West, about 9:30 p.m., according to officials.

McManus said, the suspected shooter came “around the curb pretty quick,” prompting the victims to warn him about his dangerous driving. He also said, people were arguing about the driving in the parking lot, like ‘Slow down, dude'.

“Several people jumped out” of the vehicle, the chief said, and “several shots were fired.”

This shooting took place on the same day when thousands of students are protesting 'March For Our Lives'  in the U.S. to condemn the gun violence in the nation.

“The message is always the same when there’s a shooting,” McManus said. “Put your guns away. Take a few minutes to talk about it. There’s never a reason to pull a gun on somebody.”

The witness present at the Topgolf chain parking area were able to tell the police the licence plate number and descriptions of the truck and individuals.

"We are deeply saddened to hear about the incident this evening outside of our San Antonio venue," Morgan Schaaf, Topgolf Communications Manager, said Saturday night. "The safety and well-being of our associates and guests is a top priority and we are cooperating with local law enforcement."
