Man in car wounded in shooting on East Side, police say

Officers called just before 3 a.m. to 5000 block of Stoneleigh Drive

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are investigating after a man was shot on the city’s East Side early Tuesday morning.

Officers were called just before 3 a.m. to the 5000 block of Stoneleigh Drive, not far from Highway 87 and Loop 410 after receiving word of a person wounded.

According to police, officers arrived to find a man with a gunshot wound to his upper left arm. He was taken by EMS to Brooke Army Medical Center in stable condition.

The man, 30, told police he was shot while inside his car near Loop 410 and Rigsby Avenue, but didn’t give much information.

A female passenger was cut in the arm by glass when the window shattered and was treated at the scene. The woman, however, gave a conflicting story about the shooting, police said.

Police said the man’s vehicle was damaged by several bullet holes, with one going through the windshield. Officers went to the area of Loop 410 and Rigsby and found several shell casings to two different guns, according to SAPD.

Authorities say the passenger gave a vague description of the suspect vehicle. The investigation is ongoing, police said.
