BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A serious incident occurred recently on the Northeast Side of Bexar County, where a shooting left one man critically injured and four juveniles detained. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) responded to the scene at about 8 p.m. on Glen Briar Drive, near Gibbs Sprawl Road.
According to BCSO reports, a 40-year-old man was shot twice in the chest during this alarming event.
