A man was killed and a woman was wounded in a shooting early Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, in northeast Bexar County, according to , as reported by KSAT. The shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. at the corner of Waterside Drive and Crestway Road. The victims were riding as passengers in a car with two other people the sheriff described as family friends when someone in an SUV drove up and opened fire, according to the sheriff's office. Sheriff Salazar said, "I believe there was some sort of interaction or relationship between these folks at some point," and added, "To empty 10 rounds into a car, to me, again speculation, but to me that indicates a high level of anger." He said the driver of the victims' car fled the scene and is not considered a suspect. "We're looking to treat that person as a witness. But for whatever reason, they fled the scene," Salazar said. The suspect is being sought and has not been identified. Anyone with information is asked to call the Bexar County Sheriff's Office at 210-335-6000.

How we work

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.
