Overview
Two teenagers, ages 15 and 17, were in custody and a third remained at large after at least 10 shootings, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said.
The suspects fired at multiple sites, including two fire stations, and stole vehicles, prompting a shelter-in-place covering South Slaughter Ln, East McKinney Falls Pkwy, North Ben White Blvd., and West Escarpment Blvd., officials said.
Mayor Kirk Watson said the actions appear random, and Chief Lisa Davis said the firearm had been previously stolen by the 15-year-old while the 17-year-old was wanted for a separate firearm theft.
Four people were shot, including one with serious injuries and three with minor ones, and police said the suspects used at least four vehicles, including a white Kia Optima, a silver Mazda and two Hyundai sedans.
With two suspects in custody and the shelter-in-place lifted, police continue to search for the third person and are investigating the shootings and vehicle thefts, officials said.
