AUSTIN (KXAN) — An investigation has been launched after an APD officer fired their gun during a shootout between two groups of people downtown overnight.
APD Chief Joseph Chacon said two officers ran towards the sound of gunfire on East 6th Street and Sabine Street at about 1:15 a.m. on Saturday morning.
When they arrived at the scene, the officers saw a group of men shooting at another group. In response, one of the officers fired their weapon, Chacon said, and the suspects fled the scene.
A few minutes later, officers found a 17-year-old Black male with a gunshot wound, Chacon said. The teenager was taken to a local hospital, but APD confirmed on Saturday morning that he later died from his injuries.

“Who writes this crap?”
College graduates with a BS in Journalism.
WTAF? Why would the cops interfere when there is a mutual combat event taking place? Do we have to send kim fox down there from chiraq to teach them the proper protocol?
Crowds of ferals indeed here in Los Angeles it’s about all we have now everyone sane has moved out I’m on the list to get out asap.
Possibly in this instance the journalists were concerned about gender confusion and used “their” rather than ‘his/her’.
I am pretty sure BS is more accurate description of their education than BA
Excellent.

Well, Elon Musk is moving his operations to Austin so all those youths will soon have good jobs and won’t have to go around shooting each other.
Glad my son turned down a job there, said he didn’t like the vibe...
Yes. It is considered a sin to identify a person as he or she.
How do you know it was the Knights? Those could be anybody’s Tootsie Roll wrappers!
Exactly. Blm wants us all to know that ONLY black lives matter these days, (they get violent if you say all lives matter), but they have now positioned themselves in such a way that cops no longer even dare getting involved in efforts to protect them anymore, because if something g goes wrong, or a violent perp gets shot and killed, the officer gets blamed for murder.
It’s getting to,the point that “black lives matter so much that cops won’t protect them anymore for fear of being prosecuted themselves
The blm movement is having a direct opposite effect. Cops now are refusing to even get involved. (Remember the cop that shot the black woman who was actively stabbing people? The cop was immediately accused of murder and racism- now cops fear even going to a scene with black,folks involved because the cops will be blamed, even when shooting someone who was trying to murder others
Kim fox released gunmen that murdered someone stating that ‘their gun ,battle was a personal battle where both sides engaged willingly”, then she said there was ‘not enough evidence that a shooting had taken place’ despite it being caught on video and a dead man lying in traffic from a bullet wound
We now live In The age of deceit and lies, where ‘black lives matter’ so much that they are now above the ,aw, and cops won’t help them in violent, situations anymore because of the threat of ,jail and lawsuits
Painted the buildings??
All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
“an APD officer fired their gun”
Too stupid or woke to just write: “A shot was fired by an APD officer.”
Pronouns aren’t needed.
In the video Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon clearly stated that the APD officer fired his gun."
Since KXAN (and all other Austin local TV stations) are totally woketard, it likely its reporter[ette?] was using the leftists' "safe" pronoun.
I think that's excellent advice..
Unbelievable
“Well, Elon Musk is moving his operations to Austin so all those youths will soon have good jobs and won’t have to go around shooting each other.”
More likely they’ll upgrade their hardware with that extra mullah and have even grander shootouts.
