A teenager shot himself in the leg early Monday as a group of unwanted visitors were being escorted out of a house party on the far Northwest Side, authorities said.

Deputies responded to the shooting around 2 a.m. in the 22500 block of Cielo Vista Drive, where they found the 18-year-old victim suffering from the gunshot wound.

Authorities said a large party, with about 100 attendees, was taking place at a home that was rented for the weekend. Social media posts indicate the "Splashuly" party was hosted by Jiggity Jay Entertainment.

Party buses were set to pick up guests at La Cantera and ferry them to the party, which was scheduled to run from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., according to flyers posted on social media.

Sometime early Monday morning, a group of uninvited guests arrived, and someone at the party asked them to leave, authorities said.

While the uninvited group made their way off the property, one of them fired off several gunshots and struck a vehicle, officials said.

Deputies say the gunshots prompted Christopher King to accidentally shoot himself in the upper left leg while he was inside the house.

When deputies arrived on scene for the shooting call, they encountered a large group of people leaving the party, and they were told someone had been shot inside the residence.

Jaylon Myers, the owner of Jiggity Jay Entertainment, said the party was shut down after the uninvited guest opened fire outside the house. Myers was backing out of the driveway about 10 minutes later when he heard a group of people come out of the house yelling "Chris shot himself!"

"It's not like we had a bunch of people come with AR's and shoot up the party," he said. "Just a dumb mistake by a kid."

Myers said the witnesses told him that King was pulling a gun out of his pants when he shot himself in the leg, just as deputies arrived to investigate the initial shooting.

Myers said the deputies blocked in everyone still at the residence so they could investigate.

Myers, who said he personally knows the man who hired him to help throw the party, rented the home on AirBnB. The 3,700 square-foot home with a swimming pool, tennis court and sound system is listed on AirBnB's website for $599 per night. The listing also says no parties or events are to be held at the home.

The owner of the home did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Despite the violent end to the night, Myers doesn't believe the shooting will affect his business.

"I'm just here to help," he said. "All that extra stuff is out of my control."

AirBnB said in a statement issued late Monday that the person who reserved the home is now banned from the platform.

"Our thoughts are with the individual who has been injured and we wish him a quick recovery. There have been over 200 million guest arrivals on Airbnb and negative incidents are extremely rare," Laura Rillos, a press secretary for AirBnB Public Affairs said in a prepared statement.

"We have no tolerance for this type of behavior and we immediately banned the guest who made the reservation from the platform. We offered our assistance to local law enforcement and are currently supporting the host through our Million Dollar Host Guarantee. The overwhelming majority of Airbnb hosts and guests are good neighbors and respectful travelers, but when issues happen, we work to make things right," Rillos wrote.

Deputies did not find the weapon at the scene, according to a preliminary report of the incident from the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.

King was transported to University Hospital in stable condition.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the shooting.
