Note: The City of Kerrville has currently turned off all comments for all Facebook posts for several reasons. The City established its social media accounts as a way to publicize and spread public information. The City intends to continue to use it for this purpose. However, based upon the consistent use of that information, through comments and other responses, the City believes its information is being intentionally misconstrued, manipulated, or used in ways that confuse the information provided. In addition, a significant amount of activity on the City’s sites include comments and other responses that seem to be intentionally divisive, take away from the purpose of the public information, are entirely irrelevant, and frankly, have no public purpose. Thus, to ensure clarity of its communications, the City has chosen to discontinue the ability to respond to its posts. The City may revisit this issue in the future.

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation came under attack. At 8:46 a.m. Eastern Time, hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, traveling from Boston to Los Angeles, was flown into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. At 9:03 a.m. ET, hijacked United Airlines Flight 175, traveling from Boston to Los Angeles, was flown into the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. At 9:37 a.m. ET, hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, traveling from Dulles, Virginia, to Los Angeles, was flown into the Pentagon Building in Washington. And at 10:03 a.m. ET, hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, traveling from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Today, the Kerrville Police Department honors the memories of the lives lost on that terrible day. With the flags of the nation lowered and our heads held high, we stand together in solemn remembrance. Never Forget.

KERRVILLE POLICE INVESTIGATE SHOOTING

The Kerrville Police Department is investigating an early morning shooting that took place in the 100 block of West McFarland Drive, leaving one Kerrville man hospitalized.

On Thursday, September 10, 2026 at about 8:03 a.m., Kerrville Police Department officers responded to a report of a shooting at a residence in the 100 block of West McFarland Drive. Arriving officers discovered a Kerrville man, 39 years of age, in front of the residence suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers rendered first aid and the wounded man was transported to Peterson Regional Medical Center by ambulance, before being transported to a San Antonio trauma center by air. The man underwent surgery and is listed in critical condition. No further information regarding his condition is available.

Initial investigation revealed that the man who was shot went to a residence to confront another man regarding an alleged debt. The resident, a 47-year-old Kerrville man, met the 39-year-old man at the door. The man who was shot is accused of brandishing a knife, and during the confrontation, he was shot by the resident.

The resident is cooperating with detectives. He has been interviewed, and at this time, based on preliminary information available to detectives, it appears he acted in self-defense. Upon completion of this investigation, it will be sent to the 216th District Attorney’s Office for review and consideration.

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Darin Trahan at 830-258-1311.
