Deadly Morning at San Antonio Business

Jose Hernandez Galo arrived at Mission Landscape Supply on Saturday morning, November 8, 2025, and opened fire on his fellow employees around 7:45 a.m. The 21-year-old shooter killed three co-workers at the northeast San Antonio business on Stahl Road before other employees fled in terror. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus confirmed the attack was not random, indicating Galo specifically targeted his victims during what should have been a routine workday.

Three Lives Lost to Workplace Violence

The victims included two male employees, ages 48 and 38, and a 24-year-old woman, all confirmed dead at the scene by responding officers. Police found all three victims inside the landscape supply business, cut down during morning work hours. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office is conducting autopsies to determine official causes of death, though the circumstances leave little doubt about the tragic outcome of this workplace rampage.

Shooter’s Suicide Complicates Investigation

Hours after the shooting, authorities discovered Galo dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, effectively ending any immediate threat to the community but complicating efforts to determine his motive. The shooter’s suicide eliminates the possibility of learning directly why he targeted these specific co-workers. San Antonio police continue investigating the incident, but Chief McManus acknowledged the challenge of understanding what drove this young man to commit such a heinous act against people he worked alongside daily.

Community Grapples with Senseless Violence

This tragic incident underscores the vulnerability of American workers who should feel safe at their jobs, not fear for their lives from unstable colleagues. The attack disrupted not only Mission Landscape Supply’s operations but sent shockwaves through San Antonio’s business community. While workplace shootings remain relatively rare, this case highlights the importance of recognizing warning signs and maintaining vigilant security measures to protect hardworking Americans from those who would do them harm.
