Two people were detained early Saturday after a man was shot twice in downtown San Antonio, authorities said. Officers already patrolling near a parking garage in the 200 block of College Street rushed toward the sound of gunfire, and medics took the victim to a nearby hospital with injuries officials described as non-life-threatening. Police said the investigation remained active and no charges had been filed as of Saturday morning.
Police Response And Detentions
According to KENS5, officers were already in the area when they heard gunfire and found a man who had been shot twice. They coordinated with medics to transport him to a local hospital, where the station reports he is expected to be okay. Two people were detained at the scene for questioning while detectives processed the parking garage and nearby blocks, but investigators had not released names or a possible motive.
Where This Happened
The 200 block of College Street runs through the heart of downtown and is flanked by the backs of restaurants, bars and hotels, according to City of San Antonio planning documents. The block also saw an arson case at a downtown nightclub in March, according to reporting by KSAT. City materials describe the stretch as a narrow, high-foot-traffic corridor that can present policing challenges after hours.
Investigation Underway
Detectives from the San Antonio Police Department continued to interview witnesses and comb the scene, and officials asked anyone with information to contact police, KENS5 reports. Officials did not immediately say whether either person detained would be charged, and the department did not release further details Saturday morning.
