SAN ANTONIO — Police say that a man shot and killed his neighbor in an apparent case of self defense after that man stabbed him on the west side Wednesday night.
It happened at the Casa Blanca Apartments on the 2300 block of Pinn Road around 8 p.m.
Officers first received a call for a cutting in progress, then it became a call for shots fired at the same location. When officers arrived they found one person who was shot and another who was stabbed. Police said the man who was shot was suspected of stabbing the other man, and that both lived on the property.
Police said the two have had problems in the past, and they have been called out to the property before. They added that the two men were not related.
They said the 67-year-old suspect knocked on the other man's door, then stabbed him in the chest when he opened it. The 24-year-old man who was stabbed grabbed a pistol that was near the door, and then fired multiple shots at the other man. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, and the stabbing victim was taken to the hospital but expected to survive.
