SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are investigating after a man in his 60s was found shot just west of downtown early Thursday morning.

Officers were called around 12:30 a.m. to an apartment complex in the 800 block of North Frio Street, not far from Rivas Street and Interstate 10 after receiving word of a shooting.

According to police, officers arrived to find the man with a gunshot wound to his foot. The man was taken by ambulance to University Hospital, where he is expected to recover.
