SAN ANGELO, TX — A late-night confrontation in San Angelo ended in gunfire Friday, leaving one man hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds, authorities said.
San Angelo Police Department officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of North Jackson Street just after 11 p.m. on August 8 following reports of a shooting victim. When officers arrived, they found an adult male suffering from several gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel quickly transported him to a local hospital, where he remains under medical care.

Investigators later determined the shooting had not occurred at the location where the victim was found, but rather in the 1000 block of North Monroe Street, a short distance away.
According to preliminary findings, the incident began earlier in the evening as an argument between two acquaintances at a local bar.

In response, the second man reportedly fired multiple shots, striking the first man and ending the confrontation.
Authorities have not released the names of those involved, and no arrests have been made at this stage. Police emphasized that the case remains under active investigation, and detectives are working to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and determine whether charges will be filed.
