Looks pretty bad. Take the numbers with a grain of salt as the reports are very early.

Sorry to hear this. Appreciate the post.

Austin is another liberal town that hates cops. Bet they’re glad to see them now.

On the TV show “The Office,” Jim and Pam were going to move to Austin on the last episode. More than once, the characters gushed about what a wonderful place it is...

[Responsibility2nd]

Haven’t we read that Austin is taking steps to defund their police department? Oh yes. Yes we have.

This weekend is the Republic of Texas Rally. Motorcyclists, vintage vehicle enthusiasts, and partiers are in Austin and the surrounding area to rde around, eat & drink, and have a good time.

Usually it’s accidents that get all the attention.

[JonPreston]

This is troubling. And concerning. We need to have a conversation about root causes.

[momincombatboots]

How about stats on other violent crimes?

I sure hope the lone gunman was wearing a mask! Someone might catch the flu during all of this!

Wish I had a bigger heart when it comes to these things, but when Socialist Democrats bring it on themselves, my Give-A-D@mn is busted. :(

Sounds like a typical weekend in Chicago report....

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Austin is a cess pool dominated by liberal politics and academics for decades. I do not understand the attraction.

Stating to look like Chicago numbers, meh. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

6th Street is where the weirdos hang out. Move it over to E. 6th Street and your adding illegals to the mix.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

The wounded/kill ratio suggests the Amish are involved. They still have bad aim after all these years.

[Deo volente]

It’s too bad there were no social workers available to dialogue with the shooter and find out why he was upset.

Glad I don’t live there anymore. Sounds like a bunch of innocents paid the price for two idiots shooting at each other. Probably gang related.

Being reported down here in Houston as 13 hurt...no fatalities.
