Between 20 and 30 rounds were fired at the family's home as they were having a barbeque around 10:15 p.m. Saturday, according to San Antonio police.

At first, neighbors told KSAT that they thought they were setting off fireworks.

Police said two men, ages 45 and 46, were killed. Five other victims were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.

The injured victims range in age from 19 to 44, and include two women and three men, police said.
