San Antonio Texas July 5th, 2023 A security guard was arrested and charged for aggravated assault after shooting a 40-year-old man who was “bothering customers” in a south-side store Monday evening, officials with the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) say.
Police say the gunfire unfolded around 7:20 p.m. when the unidentified victim refused to comply with security officers’ demands and began walking towards the now-arrested security guard outside the store. That guard shot once, hitting the man in the leg.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, according to SAPD.
It’s unknown what company the 38-year-old security guard was contracted with. Police did not release his name.
