SAN ANTONIO - Police say two shootings early Saturday were sparked by fighting over women on the North Side.

The first incident occurred when a fight broke out between two men at 1:45 a.m. in the parking lot of a bar in the 300 block of Sourrey Avenue.

Investigators said the two were fighting over a woman, noting one of the men had a relationship with the woman. Allegedly, the other man had a previous relationship with the woman.

The two men fought until one of them pulled out a gun and shot the other man twice, police said, noting he was treated at the scene and transported to University Hospital in stable condition.

The suspect fled the scene but was caught a few hours later, police said. Charges have yet to be determined as the investigation continues.

In a separate incident, two men were fighting over a woman inside a hookah bar at 3:45 a.m. in the 1100 block of West Avenue, according to police.

One of the men pulled out a gun and began to wave it around, witnesses told police.

That's when he fired several shots, which hit four men in their feet, investigators said.

The injured were taken to University Hospital in stable condition, police said, adding that the suspect fled the scene and is at large.
