SAPD looking for answers after finding one person shot near post office on northeast side, officials say

SAN ANTONIO — One person was found shot near an old post office on the city’s northeast side Tuesday, authorities said. 

San Antonio Police say just before noon, a man was at the U.S. Post Office on the 1900 block of Austin Highway, when another man and a woman walked up to him. Both men flashed guns at each other. 

Eventually, one of the men fired, which began a shootout. Police say the man who walked up with the woman was shot and killed, and for now it appears it was self-defense. But, homicide detectives will determine the ultimate cause and have the final say. 

But, right now police say it sounds like an argument that stemmed from a love triangle. Police say a female witness is being questioned.
