A 6-year-old boy was fatally shot when Bexar County sheriff's deputies opened fire on a woman at a Schertz mobile home park after a lengthy manhunt Thursday.

The woman — a wanted felon and a suspect in a car theft — also was killed by the gunfire at the Pecan Grove Manufactured Home Community, located off FM 78 on the banks of Cibolo Creek.

She had been trying to break into a mobile home while the child was inside when deputies caught up to her on the front porch.
