Two armed robbers shot by target

San Antonio, TEXAS -- The San Antonio Police Department is investigating a shooting in which two men were rushed to the hospital at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday morning from the 200 block of Ranch Valley.

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a 23-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his head. Emergency Medical Services transported him to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, according to the San Antonio Police Department. During the investigation, authorities learned that another man had also been taken to the hospital, this one with a gunshot wound to his hip, which was linked to the same incident, SAPD reported.

Per San Antonio police, the two men taken to the hospital were the aggressors, while the person who shot them was the target of an attempted robbery and acting in self-defense.

Police have not disclosed many additional details about the defensive gun use, only confirming that the two men who targeted the 34-year-old armed citizen were also armed. The victim is not currently facing any charges for his actions, and based on what we know, nor should he.

There were other self-defense incidents this weekend but you get the picture: people have the right to defend themselves and their property and the Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment and the U.S. Constitution overall.
