San Antonio: Four People Shot, Including Six-Year-Old at Texas Roadhouse, CBS 2/19/18

SAN ANTONIO -- Police were seeking a suspect after a 6-year-old boy and three adults were shot in the parking lot of a popular San Antonio steakhouse.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus says two of the adults' injuries are life-threatening. The boy was shot in the leg and is expected to survive.

McManus says all four victims are related and the adults are in their 20s.
According to police, the shooting occurred 8:40 p.m. Sunday as the group waited outside the Texas Roadhouse, near Ingram Park Mall.

McManus said, "We do not believe that this shooting was random."
CBS San Antonio affiliate KENS-TV reports investigators think it was a family violence situation.
Police say the masked suspect opened fire about 15 feet from the front of the restaurant, emptying the magazine.

The good news: They could have been eating at Sirloin Stockade instead. They have the worst steaks I ever ate and the steak sauce tastes like vinegar.

when I was a kid (although it was mostly stabbings back then). I always considered San Antonio to be the toughest of the major cities in Texas.

Also Rupert Murdoch had his claws in the Express-News for awhile. It turned into his personal tabloid. Of course, true crime was a big part of it.



I remember on one Mother's Day, they did this front page spread about this woman who was pregnant who knows how many times. The article went into lurid details about how her husband would rape her after she had just given birth and she would get pregnant again. It also went into details about her numerous miscarriages. It was soooo disgusting.
