Man shot in head during fight on highway

SAN ANTONIO — A man was shot in the head late Thursday after an altercation on Interstate 10 northwest of downtown.

Police said a man driving on Interstate 10 in a Chevy SUV was being followed by at least four men in a silver car around 10:45 p.m.

At some point, the silver car managed to get the man, who was traveling with a passenger, to pull over. A physical confrontation ensued on the side of the highway, and the driver of the SUV was shot once in the head by one of his attackers.

Police said the man did not realize he was hit, and drove to a fast food restaurant, then to a gas station at 1303 W. Hildebrand Ave., before noticing the gunshot wound and calling police.

He was taken to University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

Police were still searching late Thursday for the man's attackers, whom they said knew the victim.
