Celebrate Safely This Fourth | San Antonio News

San Antonio is sounding the alarm ahead of the Fourth of July, warning residents that celebratory gunfire isn’t just illegal—it’s dangerous. Under Texas law, firing a weapon recklessly in cities over 100,000 people (like San Antonio) is a Class A misdemeanor, carrying hefty fines and jail time. Police Chief William McManus emphasized that bullets don’t disappear—they can travel far and injure innocent bystanders or damage property. With a spike in stray bullet incidents each year, law enforcement is stepping up patrols and launching the “Call the Shots” campaign to educate the public and improve reporting. If you hear gunfire, don’t ignore it—call the non-emergency line. Let’s celebrate safely this holiday.
