Today my son & I were at the Mrs. Baird's outlet on Culebra. I noticed an ambulance and a LOT of Police cars zooming into the shell across the street from where we were. The ladies inside the Mrs Baird's shop told me there had been a shooting at the Shell just a few minutes before we got there & the shooter had left on foot but no one knew quite where he was.
There was a hellicopter over us within a couple of minutes doing circles as if looking for someone. That was all still going on when I left & came home. I've not seen anything on the news & see nothing online about it. I'm wondering if any of you know anything? I pray that who ever got shot is okay & that they caught the shooter!

THANK YOU for the fast response & link. Wow! How do people think it is anywhere near okay to do something like that? Sadly, this type of thing will probably happen more & more now with the 'recession'.
My heart sure did pick up it's pace when I saw what was happening... being near a violent situation with an infant sure does make me feel different than had I been by myself.

Anyway, thank you again & I'll be praying for that clerk.

That's just a wee bit close to home for me. I hope and pray everyone is OK. I don't shop there, but still.........it's a hop, skip, and a jump from my place.

this crap is just getting way too close to home.. I'm about to stop listening to my wife when it comes to getting a gun. I'm not going to let them get in my house and try to take my things, just because they feel they're too good to earn an honest living.
I'll gladly give them their Constitutional right to a Very speedy trial

Moderator cut: orphaned It's definitely not a San Antonio exclusive.

It's not only an SA problem for sure. I just can't see how people go from human to animal so fast. I've been down financially quite a few times in my life, but robbing or stealing never came to mind. We just had to get creative with what got paid and the luxuries, along with most good tasting food, took a back seat. Some cheap bologna fried in a pan and slapped on some toast with mayo and cheese is a pretty good poor mans sandwich though.

Well I think you meant to say was that this is becoming a crazy world filled with criminals. If you would like to debate crime statistics and San Antonio's safeness you seem like you would learn a a lot!

Where is that bridge?
