In the movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street," crazed murderer Freddy Krueger kills his victims with a glove made of claw-like razors, tormenting them in their sleep and then chasing them into real life.
His skin is burned and disfigured, covered only by the gloves, a fedora, and a redand green striped sweater.
In San Antonio early Sunday morning, a man dressed as the fictional serial killer appeared, uninvited, at a Halloween house party at about 5 a.m., police told TV station KENS 5. The man dressed as Freddy Krueger and his friends were involved in an altercation, reported the San Antonio Express-News, that escalated when people at the party tried to removed the uninvited guests.
That's when Freddy Krueger pulled a gun from his costume and started firing, according to San Antonio police.
Four men and one female were hit, police told the Express-News.
"It woke me up in the middle of the night," William Warren told ABC affiliate KSAT 12. "I heard a bunch of yelling and screaming and hollering. ... Next thing I know I heard a couple of shots and then four of five shots after that and I could see the flashes and everything."
At least three male victims were transported to University Hospital and treated, reported the Express-News. A fourth male victim was treated at Baptist Medical Center. The female victim drove herself to the hospital but crashed on the way, reported KENS 5.
