San Antonio Landscape Buisness Shooting Leaves Three Employees Dead; Suspect Found Deceased
Three employees of a landscape supply business in northeast San Antonio were fatally shot saturday morning, according to police. The incident prompted a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents as authorities searched for the suspect, who was later found dead.
The shooting underscores the ongoing issue of workplace violence and its devastating impact on communities. The victims – two men and one woman – were identified as employees of the business, though their names have not yet been released. The incident raises questions about safety protocols at local businesses and the potential for escalating conflicts in professional settings. Investigations are underway to determine the circumstances leading to the shooting and to provide support to the affected families and coworkers.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus stated during a morning briefing that investigators believe the shooting was not random and that the suspect and victims likely knew each other. A motive remains under examination.
Initially, Chief McManus advised the public to avoid the area while officers conducted a search for the suspect. Later Saturday, he announced via social media that the suspect had been found deceased, attributing the death to a self-inflicted injury. No further details regarding the suspect or the manner of death were instantly available.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not released further information at this time.
