Austin, Texas shooting leaves 4 injured, 3 in custody. What we know

Three juvenile individuals are in custody following a weekend crime spree of 12 shootings that left four people injured and multiple car thefts in Austin, Texas.

The crimes occurred starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 16, and ended on Sunday, May 17, resulting in the arrest of a 15-year-old, a 17-year-old and a third individual, Austin Police Department Chief Lisa Davis said Sunday, May 17.

"The 17-year-old has a warrant for his arrest for a theft of a gun from the same store the 15-year-old stole a gun from," Davis said at a news conference.

The string of crimes started when Austin PD was first notified of a stolen vehicle from an apartment complex, followed by the theft of a firearm. Following that, Davis said an estimated 20 service calls were received in the South and Southeast Austin areas regarding the individuals.

"Two times they fired at a firehouse and struck a truck," Davis said. "Into apartment buildings where officers had to go door to door, ensuring that everyone was safe."

In total, two separate fire houses, several buildings and apartment complexes were fired upon by the individuals, in addition to four vehicles being stolen.

Of the four individuals injured, three have been confirmed to have sustained non-life-threatening injuries, with the fourth sustaining critical injuries.

Police were able to connect these events to the three individuals, but Davis said there is no known motive for the series of events.

The crime spree concluded when Manor PD conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that the individuals were driving. The individuals fled, but two of them were apprehended on Sunday.

Following the news conference, the Manor Police Department announced a third individual — a juvenile — who had fled the vehicle earlier on Sunday had been detained with no ongoing threat to the public.

Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement on social media calling the individuals dangerous.

"If they are ever released from jail, they will surely harm again," Abbott said. "The DA & Court must do their job and keep these criminals behind bars."
