San Antonio CHL Shooting

FYI, didn't see this posted elsewhere.
Express-News (Website)
A licensed concealed handgun carrier fired several shots in the parking lot of a downtown hotel Sunday morning, when he came outside as a woman was stealing his truck, authorities said.

The man, whose name was not immediately released, told police he heard the sound of his red Ford F350 pickup's ignition starting around 10:30 a.m. and walked outside his hotel room at the Motel 6 in the 200 block of North Pecos La Trinidad, said Sgt. Devon Lambert with the San Antonio Police Department.

A woman had broken the truck's steering column and was backing up when the man approached her, holding a small-caliber handgun, and told her to get out of the truck, authorities said. She got out of the truck and into the passenger seat of a white pickup, where police said at least two men were waiting.

The driver of the white truck then drove it toward the man, who fired several shots while in fear for his life, Lambert said.

“He felt threatened; it was pulling out toward him,” he said.
The gunshots hit the white truck's passenger window, but police weren't sure if any of the three people inside were injured. Police are still looking for two men and a woman described as 5 feet tall and about 100 pounds.

The shooter isn't expected to face charges, Lambert said.
