Officers responded to gunfire outside of women's reproductive health clinic around 8:30 a.m. CT. While no one was injured, authorities discovered several gunshots to the Alamo Women's Reproductive Services building.
Protesters who were standing outside the clinic witnessed the shooting, San Antonio police spokesman Chris Ramos said in a press conference. One of them was armed and opened fire on the suspected gunman, who fled the scene, he said.
Authorities don't know if he was wounded as a result of the protester's intervention. The protester had a permit to carry a concealed handgun, according to Ramos.
"He absolutely saved this young lady's life," he said. "He did something a reasonable person would do and he saw someone engaged in a shooting and he stepped in and intervened and stopped that shooting from occurring."
While police were canvassing the area to look for the suspected shooter, they found a gun they believe he used in the incident, Ramos said.
Police are investigating the shooting as a possible domestic violence incident because the woman and the alleged gunman know each other.

Sounds like a good guy with a gun did something good.
Oh, Texan. Don't you know there are no good guys with guns? The media says so!!!
Sounds like they were both good guys with guns until they decided who to shoot at.
And then--poof--they weren't the same at all!
So how do you decide before the shooting starts?
why would I need to decide anything if both parties are doing nothing wrong?
Derp
That's the question. Don't you want to prevent shootings? What is the difference between a good man with a gun and a bad man with a gun, before the shooting starts.
I don't worry incessantly over things I have no control over. Seems pointless and inane to me, so I leave it for the snowflakes to worry over.
If you choose to worry about everyone who has a gun, I bet you must live in constant fear!
I KNOW who the good guy with a gun was and what he did. Trying to belittle what the man did is silly.
You know after the fact. Before the shooting started you had no clue.
What the fuck are you talking about? Stop making shit up, I never said anything bad about what he did.
Sorry, I can't bring myself to get all worked up because someone carries a gun.
Or to worry about everyone I meet.
You have fun though!
And there you go again, making shit up. Where am I worked up? Is it just that you dislike the simple question I am answering? Sounds to me like you are the one getting worked out.
I ask a simple question and you start accusing me of all sorts of shit.
Your question is, was and will remain inane.
You want answers, ask decent questions.
Not a soul here has said they can tell a good guy with a gun from a bad guy with a gun until something is done.
WTF are you asking?
My asking how do you tell the difference between a good man with a gun and a bad man with a gun before the shooting starts? Seems to me like a fairly important question if you want to put a stop to all these mass shootings. Unless you don't care about all those killed. Is that why you feel the question is inane, you don't care?
Is there a more important question for stopping all the mass shootings?
Then there is no such thing as a "good guy with a gun" or a "bad guy with a gun", just a "guy with a gun". So how do you stop the "guy with a gun" from getting a gun to turn into the "bad guy with a gun"?
YOU are putting the labels "good" or "bad" on these people. Unless you are claiming that the person magically becomes a bad person instantaneously upon shooting, you are ignoring the fact that this person actually planned to do what he did BEFORE THE SHOOTING. Therefore he was a "bad man with a gun" before he shot anyone.
So giving him a "good" or "bad" label AFTER THE FACT is disingenuous at best., dishonest at worst.
Asked and answered. Move it along.
There were two guys with guns. One was bad, one wasn't. How hard is that to see?
Until a bad act happens, they are just two guys with guns.
Go play your semantic game elsewhere or at least with someone else who might care.
Asked and avoided, you mean.
Impossible actually. Under your own admission, if you saw both those many walking down the street, you would have called both of them "good guys with guns".
But you just said one was bad.
Look, if you don't think the guy attempting to shoot the woman was a bad guy, then there is no sense talking to you.
I explained it but can't understand it for you.
I am starting to think that you are purposely not addressing what I am saying.
The guy shooting at the woman was a bad guy, period. However, if you'd seen him 5 minutes before the shooting, you would have called him a "good guy". That's why all this good guy, bad guy, is bullshit. You can't put a label of a "good guy" on anyone, because of 1 single action he made for 1 second of his lifetime.
How do you know your "good guy" isn't a pedophile, out looking for his next victim, when he just happened to stumble upon a situation that allowed him to legally kill someone? That's why your "good guy" label is so much bullshit.
you imagine all sorts of things, don't you?
No legitimate response, so straight to personal insults. You're losing it.
You considered THAT an insult??
Whew, boy, you and AOC might have something in common--taking offense where none exists!

No one could tell that either man was a good guy or a bad guy until the shooting started. The man who shot at the woman was the BAD guy. The man who shot HIM was a GOOD guy.
SO, the good guy with a gun did a good thing--no matter how you slice it.
If you don't understand THAT, too bad.
You have the patience of a Saint, my friend : ) I'd have given up a long time ago.
I am writing it off as a lost cause.
trumpster on trumpster crime, how tragic. not.
Well, now, isn;t THAT some nonsensical CRAP!
Hmm............the man who saved the woman's life was there peacefully protesting. When he saw the attack, he acted.
Damn pity that at all the "peaceful protests" in America over the last 2 years the participants weren't as helpful when looting and arson occurred amongst them.
It was all far right wing fascists wearing false flags doing the burning and looting.
Sure it was, and unicorns poop rainbows in Liberal La La Land!
LMMFAO!
It was all far right wing fascists wearing false flags doing the burning and looting.
classic NT..... now tell us how it’s right wingers who believe in conspiracy theories to top it off.
Of course it is nonsense.
What else do they have?
So this was at an abortion clinic ... there will be some confusion as to who the 'good guy' was, especially within the pro-life crowd.
Well, gee, some people would consider saving the life of a woman to be a good thing, but apparently you aren't one of them.
Sad and pitiful.
Where did I say it was a bad thing?
Didn't have to.
That kind of silly question is very revealing.
Of course, when one reads the article, one learns the dude who saved the woman was there to take part in a pro-life protest.
Amazing what one can find out by simply reading the whole article AND understanding it!
Now, do you consider him evil for protesting AND saving the woman?
Where did I say he was evil?
Have a bad day Tex ... maybe it will help.
I didn't say you thought he was evil. I asked you.
Pretty telling response.
Nice to see the 1% of the time someone actually does something positive with a gun. Of course the asshole committing the crime also used a gun so... yeah, guns still seem to be a big part of the problem.
Are the millions of legal, gun-owning Americans who do nothing but shoot targets or go hunting or having the gun for personal protection doing anything negative?
Nope, because we did it legally, our asses are on the line if we f*ck up. Simple as that.
