Man shoots person causing 'disturbance' on west side, SAPD says

The person who was shot is expected to survive.

SAN ANTONIO — Police are investigating after they say a man shot someone else who was "causing a disturbance" at multiple west-side businesses Friday afternoon. 

The victim, believed to be 30 or 31 years old, is expected to be OK. It's unknown if the alleged shooter will be charged. 

According to SAPD Sgt. Allison Goodwin, the victim arrived at an auto shop in the area of Old Highway 90 and Southwest 36 Street, where he's believed to have started damaging vehicles before an employee told him to leave. 

The victim proceeded to go into a nearby restaurant where, Goodwin said, he again continued "breaking items." The auto shop employee arrived to confront him a second time, at which point some kind of physical altercation ensued. 

"The suspect shot him one time in the leg," Goodwin said, adding the victim's injuries are non-life-threatening. 

Police are investigating and working to determine if the shooting was in self-defense. It's unknown if the victim had a weapon of his own.
