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.

So we have squad size groups of urban yute savages having firefights on the streets of Austin. Last year there were 40 murders, year-to-date, Austin is at 68. At night, Austin is terrorized by massive crowds of ferals who celebrate their beautiful culture through the streets of downtown while the city awaits the morning’s headlines telling of yet another murder.

The LEO should not have gotten involved. There is no upside to tangling with the Lives That Matter.

Were the two officers sharing a weapon that was fired, or is this yet another example of modern Leftist pronoun idiocy?

“an APD officer fired their gun”

He didn’t have his own gun to fire?

They share in Austin. It’s part and parcel of “keeping Austin weird”...

“two officers ran towards the sound of gunfire”

This is exactly why we need social workers to replace police officers.

Social workers don’t run
Social workers can’t shoot
Social workers would have asked each group to put their guns down and talk it out in between rounds.

> “an APD officer fired their gun” <

As FreedomPoster noted, this is probably just another example of woke journalism. Using gender-specific pronouns like “his” or “her” is now discouraged, if not outright prohibited.

...one of the officers fired their weapon...

Austin? ... It would be wise for all the officers involved to seek sanctuary in a non Muslim Eastern European Nation by then end of today.

What else should Austinites expect? It’s their City Council. Own it!
