Overview
- Police say security guards exchanged gunfire with a man in the H‑E‑B parking lot, struck him, and opened an investigation into the shooting.
- SAPD records show more than 100 calls to this store this year for issues from lost property to assaults, including a report last month of an alleged truck theft attempt where a suspect displayed a gun.
- After the shooting, residents are calling for a stronger and more visible guard presence, and H‑E‑B says customer safety is a top priority.
- Some patrons say extra patrols cannot stop every crime and urge shoppers to stay alert rather than grow complacent.
- Others say new shops and apartments are drawing larger crowds to Southeast Military Drive, which they believe helps explain the higher call volume.
