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.

Since the officer hadn’t been identified, the gender would be not known.

In that case, “their” is a proper neutral pronoun.

Yep. Consider this sentence: He left in her car.
The woke version becomes: They left in their car.

The woke version is so misleading as to be nonsensical. But it is politically correct. And that’s all that matters.

“APD officer fired weapon during shootout”

So, how many years in prison will the officer be getting?

East 6th is called dirty 6th for a reason. It’s been full of ferals since the early 2000s and gotten way worse as more and more of the trendy bars moved far to the West down at the far end of West 6th aka where the white folks go. There is a newly gentrified area being built in the former ghetto on East 6th east of 35 it has million dollar condos going up at breakneck speed and a trendy bar / restaurant area with $$$ prices to keep the riff raff out.

For absolutely insanely good lamb barbacoa tacos. So good food network has been twice to that location.

He didn’t have his own gun to fire?

They couldn’t use his or hers as it might mis-gender. /s

So just how did the officers determine that the folks they shot at were illegally using lethal force?
