Shortly after that, San Antonio police were called to Short Horn for another report of a shooting.
Authorities said the victim showed up to the suspect’s home to collect a debt. Officials said it was during this interaction that the victim brandished a machete.
The shooter was found inside of the home with a knife or stab wound to the chest, police said.
The suspect claimed it was that injury that caused him to shoot the victim multiple times in the chest, in an effort to defend himself, according to police.
Both the shooter and the victim were hospitalized.
The investigation is ongoing and it’s unclear if any charges will be filed.
