“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”...

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.

Possibly in this instance the journalists were concerned about gender confusion and used “their” rather than ‘his/her’.

Too stupid or woke to just write: “A shot was fired by an APD officer.”
Pronouns aren’t needed.

He didn’t have his own gun to fire? They couldn’t use his or hers as it might mis-gender. /s
