Five people have died after a fire broke out at a senior-living apartment building in the San Antonio suburb of Castle Hills.
Authorities say three other residents of the Wedgwood Apartments have been hospitalized after this morning's fire and one is in critical condition. Some 75 additional residents were taken to a local high school.
Bexar County Fire Marshall spokeswoman Laura Jesse says the cause of the three-alarm fire is under investigation but appears to have originated on the third floor.
