Eight people including two children  are dead after they were discovered in the back of an 18-wheeler in San  Antonio.  Authorities are calling it a human trafficking crime.  Police  Chief William McManus said officers responded to a call from a Walmart  parking lot late Saturday.  An employee called police about possible illegal immigrants after someone from the truck asked for water.  Nearly  40 people were reportedly inside the trailer.  Fire officials say at  least 17 are critical while 13 are in serious condition including  dehydration.  The driver of the truck is in custody.  McManus said  police reviewed video from the store and saw several people had left the  scene.  The Department of Homeland Security is involved with the  investigation.
