SAN ANTONIO – A 37-year-old man was hospitalized on Wednesday evening after he was shot twice on the West Side, according to San Antonio police.
Officers responded to the shooting just after 7 p.m. near El Paso and South Chupaderas streets.
SAPD said officers found shell casings near Torreon Street, where witnesses reported hearing an argument followed by gunshots. An SAPD preliminary report confirmed an altercation had preempted the gunfire.
The report said the man had been shot in the 1000 block of Torreon Street. He then ran down Chupaderas Street after the shooting before collapsing at El Paso and South Chupaderas streets, police said.
The man suffered gunshot wounds to his left arm and side of his body, SAPD said. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition, though the report said the injuries were non-life-threatening.
Police said the shooter is unknown, and the weapon has not been recovered.
