SAN ANTONIO – A 22-year-old man was taken to an area hospital after being shot at a Northeast Side apartment complex late Friday night, according to San Antonio police.

The shooting happened just before midnight at an apartment in the 8800 block of Starcrest Drive, not far from Perrin Beitel and Loop 410.

According to police, officers arrived to find a man with a gunshot wound to a leg.

Police did not say exactly what the argument was about.

The wounded man was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where he’s expected to recover.
