SAN ANTONIO — A man was found shot outside an apartment building near downtown and an Alamo Colleges officer who was on his way to assist had a heart attack while driving to the scene, the San Antonio Police Department said.
The incident took place in the 1400 block of North Main Avenue outside the Tobin Lofts near San Antonio College.
SAPD and Alamo Colleges PD found the man, who police say is either in his late teens or early 20s, outside the complex with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in critical condition.
