SAN ANTONIO — Officers were dispatched to the Bank of America near Highway 281 and Wurzbach Parkway early Friday morning for a welfare check due to multiple people calling police inquiring about a loud sound.
FBI, ATF and the San Antonio Fire Department joined in on the investigation. It’s unclear if there was an explosion however arson investigators with SAFD were called to the scene.
The area around the drive-thru was damaged but it’s unclear what caused the damage. No injuries were reported on scene and no suspect information has been released.
