SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are trying to figure out how and why a 34-year-old East Side man was shot Tuesday afternoon.

According to police, the man’s father called for help after his son was shot earlier that afternoon. The man had refused to seek treatment so the father made the call after he fell asleep, police said.

Officials said the victim was not very cooperative, so they don’t have much to go on. He may also undergo a psychiatric evaluation, police said.

At this time, it is unclear as to exactly how or why the man was shot. The location of the shooting is also not known.

The San Antonio Police Department, the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS all answered the call.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.
