San Antonio police are investigating whether a shooting on the East Side was an act of self-defense after a man was hospitalized with a gunshot wound Monday night.
The shooting happened just before 11:30 p.m. near North Onslow and Lamar streets, not far from the Freeman Expo Hall.
According to a San Antonio Police Department preliminary report, the man arrived at a home uninvited and wanted to fight the people there. A fight broke out between them.
The man fled but later returned and allegedly attempted to run over the two people at the home with his vehicle, the report states.
One of the people at the residence, a 21-year-old man, was armed with a handgun and fired multiple rounds at the vehicle, according to SAPD.
The man fled again and was located in the 300 block of Coleman Street. Police at the scene said he crashed into a parked vehicle nearby at the corner of East Carson and Ash Streets, before walking and calling for help.
Police treated the man for his injuries and transported him to the hospital in critical condition, as he reportedly had gunshot wounds to his abdomen and arm.
The two people at the residence were not injured.
At the original location on North Onslow Street, police at the scene said officers detained two people for questioning.
Authorities are working to determine whether the shooting was an act of self-defense or whether charges will be filed, police said.
The investigation is ongoing.
