Austin Police identifies man killed in shooting during downtown protest Saturday
AUSTIN (KXAN) ^ | 7/26/20 | Jaclyn Ramkissoo and Alyssa Goard

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 individual’s handgun, along with Foster’s 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.

Of course he is!

Speaking of ducking, on the AntiFa turds....where is our Republican “Leadership”...at the State and Federal level....calling out these riots and destruction??

Have I missed their pressers, on this sick and absolute breakdown of society that’s being allowed?

Sen Cruz & Corny Cornball....are you going to call out this idiot Mayor for this tweet?

Gov Abbott?

Bueller???

“In a split moment, three guns were drawn, eight shots were fired, and a protester was tragically killed. This is horrible as is all gun violence. There are too many guns.”

A “protester” armed with an AK-47 is not a protester but an armed combatant and is not innocent.

As for “too many guns”, come and take them, you worthless fascist!!

Entirely justified self defense. The other protester/s who shot at the car should be charged with felony murder for the death of their comrade.

So my initial analysis that the first shots were from a .45 and the last three were from something like a .380 may have been correct?

Here's the spin. Garrett Foster died "protecting" the protesters and "all of us."

Check out the ridculous video accompanying this story:

Yes indeed - it appears that the rules of engagement have changed. Not complying with Antifa roadblocking will now get you shot at. It only goes downhill from here unless somebody commences pumping the brakes.

Rules for Radicals"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

Police Officer Garret Rolfe's stepmon was fired. Should Garrett Foster mother be fired for raising a hater.

Exactly.

The dead commie's mother said her son was just pushing his girlfriend in a wheelchair.

Didn't mention anything about pointing an AK at the driver. I'll bet cnn will say she had kittens and a puppy in her lap.

"...noting that he leaves behind a disabled fiancée who uses a wheelchair."

If he'd actually cared about the fiancee, and she relied on him, he should have stayed home with her, instead of going out several nights to participate in the riots. Bad life choices can get you killed.
