A man was hospitalized Sunday after a shooting outside an apartment complex on San Antonio’s West Side, and a neighbor’s pit bull was also struck by a stray bullet, according to the San Antonio Police Department. The incident, which occurred just after 11:30 a.m. in the 2900 block of Colt Drive, is currently under investigation.

Details of the Shooting

Police responded to reports of a shooting at an apartment complex courtyard where three men were gathered at a picnic table. A black pickup truck carrying four individuals reportedly pulled up to the scene, and a male suspect exited the vehicle and began firing a pistol at the three men. The suspect then allegedly retrieved a rifle and continued shooting before fleeing the scene with the other occupants of the truck.

One of the men was struck by gunfire and transported to a local hospital for treatment. His condition is currently unknown.

According to police, the injured dog was taken to a veterinarian and is expected to make a full recovery. This incident highlights the indiscriminate nature of gun violence and the potential for harm to innocent bystanders.
