SAN ANTONIO — Police say an argument over a gas station parking spot landed a man in the hospital early Saturday night.
At the QuikTrip located at 4710 Fredericksburg Rd. at about 1 am., two men got into an argument over a parking space. Authorities say the verbal argument turned physical, with both men starting to fist fight. At some point, police say one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the other in the chest.
The victim, 19, was rushed to hospital by EMS in critical condition. No other injuries were reported.
Shortly after, the 34-year-old suspect was located inside an apartment and arrested. They were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
