Mass shooting in downtown Austin

A mass shooting that erupted in an entertainment district in downtown Austin early Saturday morning has left 13 people injured, including two in critical condition, police say.
The incident unfolded around 1:30 a.m. along 6th Street, a popular area filled with bars and restaurants. The street was barricaded to keep out vehicle traffic at the time of the shooting, according to interim Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon.
"Our officers responded very quickly," Chacon said. "They were able to immediately begin life-saving measures for many of these patients, including applications of tourniquets; applications of chest seals and other types of first aid equipment." It remains unclear what sparked the gunfire. Posts on social media at one time said as many as 16 were shot.
Chacon described the lone suspect as a Black male with a black shirt, skinny build and "dreadlock-type" hair – but told reporters early Friday morning that the description isn’t very detailed "based on the chaotic nature of the incident." Investigators are now reviewing surveillance footage and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has been notified, Chacon said.

I don’t know why anyone would raise their family in Austin.

Well this story will never get traction in the national media.

Cops: "Can you describe the shooter?"
Austin Progs.: "It was a black automatic assault rifle with a 500 bullet clip"

There are more guns per capita out in the rural areas, but don't let that stat get in the way on your gun control narrative

Shocking.
Probably snapped under all the oppression.

It's going to be a long, hot summer and BR already has a jump start on shootings.

6th Street is pretty diverse. One part has cool, trendy bars and the other looks like Bourbon Street.

Justice for Alton Sterling.

Abbott will take care of this. He'll lock down 6th Street like he has the Mexicans since he's been in office.
