SAN ANTONIO -- Police found a man mortally wounded in a pickup late Monday on the East Side, after a shootout that began when he saw his ex-girlfriend with another man.

The man, who has not been identified, went to a house in the 800 block of Sterling Drive before 10 p.m., according to the San Antonio Police Department. There, he saw Danny Smith, 68, with his former girlfriend, according to police.

The man got out of his pickup and fired his shotgun, hitting the front of the house, police said.

Someone used another shotgun to fire back at the man from inside the house, although multiple people involved "were not admitting to shooting back," according to a preliminary report.

The man was hit, either before or after getting back in his truck. He threw the truck in reverse, stopping only when he hit a trash can several houses down, police said.

Police found him there, slumped over in the driver's seat with life-threatening injuries and the shotgun beside him. He died inside an ambulance.

Police are questioning four people who were present during the incident. As of Tuesday morning, the investigation was in progress and no charges had been filed.
