SAN ANTONIO – An attempted robbery turned into a fatal shooting outside a restaurant on the Northwest Side, San Antonio police officers said.

Investigators say a man and woman were eating at Twin Peaks, located on the Interstate 10 access road near De Zavala Road, around 1 a.m. Saturday morning. After they finished eating, police said the man and woman walked out of the restaurant and saw several people trying to break into their car.
