| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Three people have died after a gunman opened fire at a Target parking lot in Austin on Monday afternoon - and the suspect was detained after crashing a hijacked vehicle. The unnamed attacker, who was described as white and wearing a Hawaiian shirt, fired at shoppers at the store on Research Boulevard in Texas shortly after 2pm, with police saying they received an initial report about a shooting at 2.15pm. When Austin police then arrived at the scene, they found three people shot in the parking lot. Medics pronounced two of the victims dead at the scene, while a third succumbed to their injuries en route to a local hospital. One other victim suffered unrelated injuries and was treated at the scene, authorities said. The suspect, identified only as a 32-year-old white male with a known mental health issue and prior criminal history,
He promptly crashed the car, at which point he hijacked another vehicle from a local Volkswagen dealership, Police Chief Lisa Davis said at an evening news conference. But officers were quickly able to track down the suspect about 18 miles south of the shooting. Police then tazed him and took him into custody, though the suspect has not yet been charged and a motive remains unclear. | |

| #3 While they outright disarm, or seriously restrict a honest citizen gun rights. They keep forgetting the simple fact slapping them in the face. Criminals DO NOT OBEY LAWS & RESTRICTIONS. Given the number of times a well armed honest citizen stopped a massacre or a murder, it should have sunk in by now. How can disarming the Honest Citizens protect the public, when police are being defunded and take 10 to 20 mins to arrive? |
