An altercation earlier today led to a shootout in a driveway on the Southwest Side, resulting in two men sustaining gunshot wounds. According to FOX San Antonio, the exchange of gunfire occurred after a heated argument spiraled out of control. Both individuals are now under review by the authorities to determine the appropriate charges.
The incident unfolded just after 1 a.m. on Roselawn Road near Cupples Road. After a vociferous back-and-forth, the situation escalated when both men drew firearms and shot each other. In response, one man fled the scene on a scooter or dirt bike, while the injured counterpart sought medical attention at a nearby hospital. The man who was hospitalized had been wounded in the arm, as reported by News 4 San Antonio.
As the investigation continues, detectives are piecing together the sequence of events that led to the shoot-out. Both men have received care for their injuries, and are expected to make full recoveries. The individual who initially fled eventually made his way to a West Side medical clinic, presenting with a gunshot wound to the stomach.
Local law enforcement is currently sifting through evidence, in an effort to untangle the specifics of the confrontation and assign accountability for the shootings. With both parties having engaged in the gunfire, the question of criminal charges hangs unresolved. Authorities have yet to announce any formal charges as the enquiry progresses.
