Three people have died after a gunman opened fire at a Target parking lot in Austin on Monday afternoon - and the suspect has been detained.

The 32-year-old attacker, who was described as white and wearing a Hawaiian shirt, fired at shoppers at the store on Research Boulevard in Texas just before 3pm ET.

Austin Police Department said the gunman was detained sometime before 3.15pm, and that four people were hurt in total, including one child. Three people have died.

A motive has not been established - but the suspect has a criminal history in Texas.

After opening fire in the parking lot, the gunman hijacked a car, then crashed it, and hijacked a second vehicle before he was finally tracked down by police.

He was Tasered before eventually being detained by members of Austin Police.

The courthouse crowd love those kind cause they are “Top Earners” for the courthouse and it all tax dollars. The more times those punks cycle through the courthouse the more tax dollars the legal eagles take home.

Things you will never see… “ The 32-year-old attacker, who was described as BLACK” But “white” is perfectly ok.

Because when no race is given, everyone assumes the criminal is black.

"He's done a lot of great things, but getting folks in gear on the death penalty certainly isn't one of his accomplishments."

So Trump is responsible for Furman v Georgia ? So Trump is responsible for the sand in the vaseline that neomarxists sewed state-by-state so that there are only 27 states remaining with the death penalty?

Meanwhile, after over 17 years without a Federal execution, TrumpI resumed Federal death row executions, including executing 13 Federal death row inmates in just the last 6 months of TrumpI.

However, Biden's coven cadre run by Dr. Jekyll, in the last days of 2024 at The White Hospice, autopenned a blanket commutation of Federal death row prisoners not convicted of terrorism or hate-motivated mass murder.

That left exactly 3 Federal death row prisoners. Even so, TrumpII immediately instructed Blondi to lift the Biden moratorium, and issued the EO: "Restoring the Death Penalty and Protecting Public Safety", that will likely result in those 3 meeting their maker during TrumpII.

After what we’re discovering about the federal government agencies and how they lie to the people, you trust them enough to insist on no appeals? Granted the current process is broken when murdurers aren’t executed until 25-35 years have passed, but no appeals? I don’t trust government agencies or soros-bought or nifong-type persecutors to support that.

Three? Which one are you not counting? (You did see where I said “Military” didn’t you?)
