SAN ANTONIO (June 19, 2025) – Earlier today, the San Antonio Police Department received information from the San Antonio FBI Office regarding threats to commit a mass shooting at a Jewish facility. In response to the threat, SAPD immediately increased police presence around Jewish facilities throughout the city as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the community.
SAPD Chief William McManus has been notified that the suspect is now in custody. The arrest was based on statements the individual made while being questioned by authorities.
“We appreciate the community’s vigilance and continued cooperation,” said Police Chief McManus.
This development significantly mitigates any further danger related to the threat. SAPD will continue to monitor the situation closely and maintain open communication with local Jewish organizations.
“I appreciate Chief McManus and SAPD working to quickly mitigate any potential increased risks to our Jewish community and we will continue to monitor this situation closely with City Manager Walsh,” Mayor Jones said. “Anti-Semitism has no place in San Antonio, and we’ll take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of our Jewish neighbors.”
