SAN ANTONIO -- A 20-year-old man was shot in the parking lot of an apartment complex on the city's south side late Wednesday.
Police said the shooter was the man's brother, but charges may not be filed against the sibling since the shooting appeared to be in self-defense.
The victim told police that he was sitting in the parking lot of the New South Point Apartments in the 5500 block of South New Braunfels around 11:30 p.m. when two men opened fire on him from a far distance.
The man was hit in the upper chest and was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in good condition.
But during the investigation, police discovered that an older brother of the victim tried to kick his sibling out of the apartment they shared, and that's when the victim pointed a gun at him. The older brother then shot his sibling.
Detectives are sorting out the men's stories and evidence to determine if charges, if any, will be filed.
