SAN ANTONIO — Two drivers stopped in their tracks and tried to help when they saw a man stagger into the street after he had been shot, according to San Antonio Police.

The shooting happened on the southeast side, on Rigsby Avenue, near Roland about 9:30 Friday night.

Police said the 28-year-old man was inside a home when he was attacked.

A police sergeant said while one person applied pressure to the man's gunshot wound, the other offered him water. They tried to do right by him, according to the sergeant.
