Man shot while pumping gas on city's South Side

Victim was shot in rear-end; was taken to hospital for his injury

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are investigating an early morning shooting on the city's South Side.

The shooting was reported around 3:15 a.m. at a Shell gas station in the 600 block of West Southcross Boulevard, found near Interstate 35 and Commercial Avenue.

Police said a man told them he was pumping gas when a gold pickup truck pulled up along side him with two men and a woman inside. That's when, police said, they asked the man if he "wanted a woman". 

When the man declined, police said, one of the men from the truck shot him in the rear-end.

The victim was taken to a local hospital for his injury. His condition is not presently known.

Police said the truck fled the scene following the shooting.

So far, no arrests have been made in the case.
