Austin Police Apprehend Two Suspects in Series of Random Shootings; Third Suspect Still at Large

Over the weekend, Austin, Texas, experienced a series of at least 10 random shootings that resulted in four injuries, including one serious and three minor cases. The incidents occurred between Saturday night and Sunday morning, with two shootings targeting local fire stations.

In response, the city issued a shelter-in-place order for a large portion of southern Austin on Sunday. This directive was lifted after two suspects were taken into custody. Authorities are still searching for a third suspect believed to be in the Manor area.

Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis indicated that the suspects appeared to be stealing vehicles as they moved between locations, utilizing at least four different vehicles. Mayor Kirk Watson stated that no specific motive has been identified, and the actions seem to be random.

Residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to 911. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to apprehend the remaining suspect.
