He summarized that witnesses told APD a vehicle began honking its horn as it turned south onto Congress Avenue from 4th Street. He said the vehicle stopped as there were a large number of people in the roadway.
Manley said that Foster, who was holding an AK47-type assault rifle, approached the driver side window of this car as others in the crowd began striking the car.
Gunshots were fired from inside the vehicle at Mr. Foster, Manley said. During the initial investigation of this incident, it appears Mr. Foster may have pointed his rifle at the driver of this vehicle prior to being shot.
Another individual told APD that after that first volley of gunfire and seeing the car drive away from the crowd, they drew their concealed handgun and fired multiple shots at the car. Manley said this individual was also brought to the homicide office to be interviewed, and this individuals handgun, along with Fosters rifle, were also taken into evidence.
Both the driver of the vehicle who fired at Foster and the individual who fired at the car later on have been released pending further investigation, Manley said. He also noted that both people have concealed handgun licenses.

“There are too many guns.”
And we all know whose gun Mayor Adler thought was one too many.
Sad story, that in America we have so many social pathologies, especially breakdown of the traditional nuclear family, that no lives matter anymore. The modern liberals gave us the welfare state, which resulted in family breakdown, which ramped up crime within communities of poor people, which resulted in BLM.
The only way to stop this is to restore the family.
I do feel sorry for his fiancee. They were both deceived, and he paid the ultimate price for his foolishness.
The “Wild-West” the Anti Gunners have traditionally harped about has arrived.
A dead antifa protester? Well, some good news.
Anyone who has a gun pointed at in has the absolute right to act as if the gun SHALL be fired. So yeah, bottom line the person in the car acted in justified self defense.
The Phoenix commie fat chick who was shot by police a few days ago was also armed, and tried to shoot the cops.
It's already a fair assumption that they are armed and dangerous.
I directly asked my AG what my Rules of Engagement were if confronted by an illegal roadblock run by a mob enforced by armed goons? When can I run them over to escape? When can I shoot them?
He laughed nervously, then observed we have the right to self defense and a stand your ground law if you feel your life is in danger - and that he is not a defense attorney. Which is a reasonable disclaimer.
But he was very aware of the illegal roadblock incident that was the source of my question. He even commented on the fact that none of the local news outlets covered it, despite the fact that shots were fired, and there was plenty of video of the incident around.
Stop Making Sense!
Stay off the roads? So now we have to just give in to criminal rioters who want to control us and gain power or something? How about no. And how about the police need to do their job and arrest these rioters. But of course, they will not because local and state governments support these rioters and want confrontations like this one to happen so they can leverage it for votes.
Keeping people afraid to go out and lives one’s life is the goal here. A person who is afraid is much more easily controlled by government.

... trapped in traffic in a tin can, and a guy approaches with an AK-47 during a peaceful riot. Kinda like having a bear charging at you on a hiking trail.
Your obligated to shoot the Marxist thug.
A good kill.
Glad you saw these. I’ve been sharing them since they came out. Twitter may be a totalitarian socialist POS forum, but the quantity of immediate citizen journalism there is devastating to the left and they can’t move fast enough to stop truth from getting out.
Antifa and BLM are on the hunt, patrolling the streets with guns.
Whats the bag limit ???
Agree with both points.
The person in the car never (according to news reports) threatened the person who fired the second shots. Therefore he should be charged with attempted murder and endangerment

"Stop Making Sense!"
This ain't no party!
Yes..a quadriplegic but am not sure how (cancer? Accident? Diabetic?)...again not much below her knees and seems to have no hands. Supposedly her wheelchair fell on its side in the tumult.
Video online was kind of like this:
F the police! Defund the police.
(Shots fired)
Call the police! Gotta get him to a hospital!
Foster just before shooting, on bringing his AK47:
“”I mean, if I use it against the cops, I’m dead”
At least he wasn’t shot by the cops.He was said to have taken part in the “protests” every day for 7 weeks or so.
Are the statements by the Austin police believable and have they been independently confirmed?
