Earlier today, San Antonio Police were called to a scene on the Northwest Side where a homeless man was discovered with a gunshot wound to his foot. Responding to reports of a shooting just before 1 a.m., officers found the man on the 100 block of De Chantle Road near Fredericksburg Road, as KENS 5 reported.

Emerging from a ditch behind an apartment complex, the unnamed individual was unable to provide officers with details about how the shooting occurred or who was responsible. "The man came out from a ditch behind an apartment complex on De Chantle Road and told them he had been shot in the foot, but did not tell officer how or why it happened," according to KENS 5's article on the incident.

The investigation is ongoing, as authorities look into the circumstances that led to the injury. The man was transported to University Hospital, where he is expected to recover. There is currently no suspect in custody, and the police are seeking any information related to the shooting.

Adding to the details of the event, News 4 San Antonio mentioned that the man told police he "had no idea who or why he had been shot." The location, near the Executive Apartments on De Chantle Road close to Fredericksburg and Babcock, is now a point of interest for investigators as they continue to piece together this puzzling shooting incident.
