Chief says officer that took shooter down was holding horses with one hand and shot at shooter with the other. Have not confirmed if he hit shooter or if the shooter did himself at the same time.

Seems odd. Done at a time pretty much assured of minimal chance of injuring anyone. Actually, that's a really dangerous time to shoot a lot of rounds downtown. It's right after the bars close and probably the busiest time of day for the police department. |

The police said the man took aim at the department headquarters and other nearby buildings before being shot himself by at least one officer. No police officers were injured, according to the APD.

The shooting incident was declared over by police by 6 a.m. Eastern, but a section of the primary highway through Austin, I-35, remained closed until about 7:30 a.m., when police confirmed it had reopened in both directions.

Quoted from CNN:
Authorities have not offered a motive, but the police chief said that the shooter's "violent anti-government behavior" -- as evidenced by attacking buildings that belong to Mexico's government, the U.S. government and, in the police headquarters, the city government -- may have come from ongoing and often vitriolic debates in society.
"Our political discourse has become very heated and sometimes very angry, and sometimes the rhetoric is not healthy," Acevedo said, adding that the divisive immigration debate "comes to mind," given that the federal courthouse and Mexican Consulate were targeted. "... I would venture, based on my training and experience, that the political rhetoric might have fed into some of this." This is the Acevedo guy that people have quoted here as derptastic. |

Recent update:
AUSTIN, Texas - Police say a gunman fired more than 100 rounds at the Mexican Consulate, Austin police headquarters and other downtown buildings before he was killed. At a press conference Police Chief Art Acevedo said a police sergeant shot at the gunman, who was about 50, early Friday outside the police station. Acevedo says it's not clear if police fatally shot the suspect or if he took his own life. The sergeant, who had just completed a mounted horse patrol, was holding the reins to two horses when he fired. The gunfire was reported at 2:22 a.m. Friday, Assistant Police Chief Raul Munguia said earlier today. Acevedo said officers who approached the suspect saw cylinders in his nearby vehicle and discovered he was wearing a vest they thought may be rigged to explode. Officers retreated and a bomb squad was called. It was later determined the items were not explosive. |
