The San Antonio firefighters, not the intended targets, suffered minor cuts.

San Antonio police continue to search for the person who fired shots while firefighters were tending to a patient early Sunday.

Someone drove up to the crew and said they were being followed, according to KENS 5

"An argument ensued between the occupants of the vehicles. The crew then heard gunfire from those vehicles and proceeded to take cover," SAFD Spokesman Woody Woodward said, adding it does not appear that the firefighters were the intended target.

Radio traffic obtained by the station indicated that when the bullets were flying, the firefighters ducked for cover and then left.

They sustained minor cuts and bruises. 

Police said Monday they are still investigating the incident.
