Man in critical condition after being shot twice in chest during attempted home invasion, police say

Officers called just before 11 p.m. to 4800 block of Castle Sword

SAN ANTONIO – A 34-year-old man was taken to an area hospital after being shot twice in the chest during an attempted home invasion late Thursday night, San Antonio police said.

Officers were called just before 11 p.m. to the 4800 block of Castle Sword, not far from Rittiman Road and I-35, after receiving reports of a disturbance.

According to police, officers arrived to find the victim on the front porch bleeding from two gunshot wounds. Officers at the scene attempted to stabilize the victim with a tourniquet and chest seal while waiting for EMS.

Police said the victim’s girlfriend told them that they were inside the house when two men attempted to make entry by breaking the front window.

The witness said the victim opened the front door and the suspects shot him, just before fleeing.

The victim was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center by EMS in critical condition.

The suspects possibly fled in a black F-150 truck, police said.

Police did not give a description of the shooters.
