A man reportedly shot a bouncer at a North Side strip club and then shot himself after San Antonio police found him driving nearby Sunday morning.

Both men, whose names and ages were not immediately released, were taken to University Hospital following the shooting, which took place around 6 a.m. at XTC Cabaret, in the 2000 block of Sable Lane.

Friends of the victim said the man's girlfriend was picking him up from the club when shots were fired at her car. The woman drove to a nearby gas station, at Broadway Street and Loop 410, where she called police.

Officers were given a description of the suspect and his vehicle — a small, light blue sedan — and it was located nearby, police said. As police followed, the suspected shooter reportedly shot himself while driving on the westbound access road of Loop 410, west of Broadway Street, and crashed into a concrete barrier in front of the San Antonio International Airport.

Police did not give the victims' conditions, but friends said the bouncer was shot in the arm and his girlfriend was grazed by a bullet. The suspected shooter sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

Two hours after the shooting, police continued to comb the strip club parking lot for evidence. The victim's girlfriend, draped in an SAPD windbreaker, was questioned at the scene and later taken downtown for a statement.

Police did not say what caused the shooting.
