It happened early Friday morning on the north side of town.

SAN ANTONIO — A man was shot after he caught two men trying to break into his neighbor's car on the north side of town. 

Police responded to the 1100 block of Sugar Pine Drive near Blanco and Bitters Road just before 4 a.m. for reports of a shooting.

When officers arrived at the location, they found a 36-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his side.

The injury was non life-threatening, officials say. He was taken to a hospital.

No description of the suspects was provided.
