The affidavit says as the group Tabb was in walked by the other group, Tabb said, “What y’all wanna do? Y’all wanna fight?” A minor from the other group replied with, “it’s whatever,” and then the affidavit says that’s when Tabb pulled out his gun and started shooting.

The same juvenile said Tabb shot him in the leg a few days before in Killeen, the affidavit said. A police report from Killeen police supported the juvenile’s claim that Tabb was the primary suspect in that shooting, as well.

Another minor police interviewed said the group immediately starting running away and heard gunshots behind him.

The shooting killed 25-year-old Douglas Kantor, who was visiting Austin, and injured 13 others. One of the 13 who were injured, identified by family members to KXAN as Jessica Ramirez, was fighting for her life in the hospital after being shot. Family members said she needed back surgery because of her injuries.

It’s just young black men with illegal guns, doin’ what they do when they’re ‘disrespected.’ Whitey gets hurt in the crossfire. No big deal.

Move along. Nothing to see here...

They were arguing over whether Bob Wills or Willie Nelson was the greatest Texas country artist ever.

Killeen, where the other shooting occurred is an hour and a half away from Austin.

Again that hairstyle.

One who kidnapped the sweet little boy from his bed and murdered him could have been his hair double.

What do the African Americans call that hairdo?

And then I can call it the Perp Do as the police used to call the wide brimmed hats in the mid-1970s a “perp hat” to each other to save time when looking for a suspect. See SuperFly movie and others for an example. Or Live and Let Die. The ones with a dirty scarf wrapped over their hair called their item a “do rag.”

Of course there was an argument! Was Mozart's Dies Irae a cri de coeur or was he just having us on? Naturally, violence was the only resort.

[SmokingJoe]

Austin, the next Chicago, next murder capital of America.

You mean they DON’T use that as a defense yet?

What?

If you don’t know George Strait is Texas’s greatest country artist ever, then (BANG!)

Killeen, where the other shooting occurred is an hour and a half away from Austin.

I was gonna argue that point. But I looked it up. It’s only a 68 mile difference. But since it take a good 30 minutes just to get OUT of Austin - you are basically correct.

Jeremiah Roshaun Leland James Tabb.

He may not be a real Amish. But he does have a pretty good Amish name.

[frank ballenger]

How long before ‘white supremacy made him do it....

Right.

It is obvious that since America was founded in the 1600s to enslave blacks, there is absolutely no chance today for teens to get an education, be allowed into a library or a night school, work toward a career and become independently free to live their lives. Impossible without turning to crime./s

The random sad cases of Oprah Winfrey, a dignified lady living a hand to mouth existence in a nailed together shack behind an auto parts junkyard and a kindly gentleman Ben Carson the low paid assistant who rides around in the truck and helps the owner lift up more auto parts to put on sale, are two examples of how America has no opportunities.

[Envisioning]

Luckily in Texas, we get to kill him back....

One would think the juvie would have learned a lesson about toying with this guy after having been shot by him just the week before. Idiot..
