SAN ANTONIO — A shooting victim showed up at a downtown children's hospital for treatment early Tuesday morning, police say.
Police say the 18-year-old man showed up to CHRISTUS Children's Emergency Center downtown just before 6:15 a.m. with a gunshot to his abdomen. He was quickly stablized, then transferred to University Hospital in critical condition.
Officials say his injuries are possibly life-threatening.
Officers were told the victim was standing outside of a vehicle at a different location when an unknown suspect on a motorcycle pulled up and shot several times striking the victim once in the abdomen area. The victim was brought to the hospital by friends in stable condition.
Two people have been detained for questioning. Officers say they are trying to figure out where the shooting happened and what led up to the shooting.
Officials say the stories are not matching up from those who brought him to the hospital.
This is a developing story.
