SAN ANTONIO – A man was shot in the leg after he was involved in two separate shootings at two different locations overnight, according to San Antonio police.

Officers were called around 3:15 a.m. to a home in the 5600 block of Deertail Creek, not far from Culebra Road and Grissom Road, after receiving word of shots fired.

According to police, the victim told officers he originally had planned to meet with a woman who he had been involved with at a gas station on Culebra Road, but while there, someone shot at him.

That’s when, police say, the man then had a change of plans. The victim said he went to the home on Deertail Creek to instead meet the woman there.

Outside the home, someone with a gun caught him by surprise and shot him in the leg, police said. SAPD did not say why he was targeted for a shooting two different times.

Police say they believe, however, that the woman was involved.

They say the woman took off with the shooter in a red pickup.

The victim is being treated at a hospital for his injuries.
