MMA Fighting, citing the same police release, reported no one killed and people wounded, and placed the shooting at Rebar, a nightspot, where it reported a man had been denied entry by security. CBS News and The Seattle Times identified the location as Ventura, a music and bar on the Museum Reach portion of the River Walk.

Police Chief William McManus said: "It's nothing more complicated than an argument that occurred inside the club with someone pulling out a firearm."

The Police Department said its homicide unit obtained warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a Wednesday, and that , was taken into custody at a hotel in Miami, Florida, on a Thursday morning. Police described both actions only by the day of the week, and none of the outlets reviewed here pinned them to a calendar date, so the dates of the warrants and of Crew's arrest are not established.
Responding and investigating agencies listed across the reporting include the Police Department, SAPD Homicide, a SWAT team and the U.S. Marshals. The Boston Herald described officers being shot while responding to a "suicide in progress" call — an account that does not match the other sources' description of the setting, and the discrepancy is unresolved. This is a developing story.
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
