SAPD catches up to suspect in Tuesday motel shooting, himself mysteriously injured

Officials say they don't know who shot the man between his alleged gunfire at one hotel and his arrival at another across I-10.

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio police swarmed a northwest-side Motel 6 Tuesday evening and discovered a man who had been shot—and who may have been involved in an earlier shooting nearby, according to authorities. 

SAPD officials tell KENS 5 the unidentified man could be seen on video firing a gun from the parking lot of another hotel nearby, towards a specific room. Police say no one was injured, but they're still investigating a possible motive. 

They later dispatched to the Motel 6 near I-10 and Wurzbach after finding a vehicle there identical to the suspect's car from the earlier incident. The unidentified man, police say, walked out of his room bleeding from a gunshot wound to his chest. It's unclear, however, when he was shot, and by whom. 

The man is expected to be OK, and police say others in his Motel 6 room were detained for questioning.
