Neighbors Demand Answers
Neighbors told KSAT they are frightened by the unexplained gunfire and want deputies to determine whether the rounds were stray shots or something more targeted. So far, there have been no publicly reported arrests or investigative updates tied to the incidents, leaving residents waiting and watching their walls.
Law Enforcement Jurisdiction
