  • Anxiety Inducing 80s Intro Music

    I’m new to this show since it was merged with KUT News Now. I won’t be listening to it since I can’t get past the awful anxiety inducing intro music that sounds like an 80s hairband wrote for a crime show. Please. This is Austin. You can do better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

More background on Buford’s shooting suspect released
Q: So in your story, you found that court records from Bexar County showed a possible history of domestic violence from the alleged shooter. Can you tell us more about that?
The records show a 2022 divorce with a finding of a history or pattern of family violence, which led to sole custody arrangements, signaling safety concerns even as visitation was supervised. This context helps explain why questions about firearm access arise, though civil findings don't automatically bar ownership unless coupled with other legal actions like a domestic violence protective order.
