Victim shot while getting ready to leave University Health Clinic in 400 block of Abshire Street

SAN ANTONIO – A man was shot while sitting in his car in a parking lot Friday on the city’s West Side.

San Antonio police said the man was getting ready to leave a University Health Clinic around 1 p.m. in the 400 block of Abshire Street when someone in another vehicle opened fire on the victim’s car.

The victim was wounded once in the shoulder. He was transported to University Hospital in stable condition.

Two possible suspects left the scene in a black vehicle, police said.

Editor’s Note: While SAPD provided KSAT with the information for this article, University Health officials said the victim “was not shot while sitting in his car in our health clinic parking lot, and he was not a patient visiting our clinic. Our protective service officers tell us he was shot while parked at a nearby location. The incident did not disrupt our operations - we did not have to evacuate or execute a lock down.”
