SAN ANTONIO — A man may face criminal charges Tuesday after he was shot by a homeowner while allegedly removing a surveillance camera on his neighbor's Southwest Side property.

Authorities responded around 1 p.m. for reports of a shooting in the 7600 block of Lagoon Drive.

San Antonio Police Department spokesman Douglas Greene said the altercation ensued after the man, who has not been named but is believed to be in his 30s, was confronted by the homeowner while attempting to remove a surveillance camera from the side of the house.

An argument ensued when the homeowner came out of his house, Greene said.

The homeowner told police that the man brandished a knife, at which point he shot him multiple times in the arm with a pistol, Greene said.

The shooting victim went back to his property and collapsed. He was transported in stable condition to University Hospital, Greene said.

Greene said the homeowner, in his mid-40s, is being detained at this time for questioning.

The man who was shot may be charged with aggravated assault and criminal mischief pending the outcome of the investigation.

A police helicopter also responded to the scene to investigate the shooting.
