AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man was arrested for Capital Murder Tuesday in connection to several homicides as well as the shootings of an Austin Independent School District officer and an Austin police officer, the Austin Police Department said early Wednesday morning.
Both officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Austin Police did not name the suspect Tuesday night. Sources tell KXAN the suspect is Shane James, 34. Travis County Jail records show a man with the same name was booked into the jail at 1:30 Wednesday morning charged with Capital Murder of multiple people.
Interim Chief Robin Henderson said the department did not connect the shootings until after a shooting on Austral Loop in the Circle C neighborhood just before 7 p.m.
Chief Henderson said the suspect is accused of killing two people on Shadywood Drive in south Austin and shooting an Austin Independent School District officer at Northeast Early College High School Tuesday morning. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office also said a suspected double homicide near San Antonio is likely tied to the suspect as well.
Just another “Hump Day” in Austin.
5 journalists working together can only produce 4 paragraphs. More questions than answers.
Must be no white supremacy MAGA AR15 angle to take advantage of yet.
Coulter’s law in effect. No name or photo, draw the logical conclusion.
who runs Austin?
since at least 2003, a span of 20 years, it has been...wait for it...DEMOCRATS.
“who runs Austin?

Even worse, Boston democrats! I know many liberals from Boston that thought moving to Texas and buying a pickup truck and a gun made them “real men”.
Just another liberal shoot ‘em up that will be blamed on the AR-15s.
Larpers.
Austin went liberal guess what comes with it idiots.
Charles Whitman, in 1966, still had a bigger toll of deaths using a 5 shot bolt action hunting rifle.
Reopen the closed mental hospitals! Killings really took off after they were closed and the patients dumped on the streets in the 1970s.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumbasses knows? Private Cowboy?
Private Cowboy : Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : That's affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twelve people from a twenty-eight-story observation tower at the University of Texas from distances up to four hundred yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball?
Private Snowball : Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : That's right, and do you know how far away he was?
Private Snowball : Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker?
Private Joker : Sir, in the Marines, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!
Why is Bexar County pronounced “Bear County”?
.....I believe it is a Spanish word...never been there but I believe the natives call it “Meh-hee-co”....
Spanish influence. ‘X’ is pronounced similar to English ‘H’ so it becomes almost silent...............
Five journalists. Of course. It’s mega woke Austin where it takes group think to wipe their butts.
The suspect was named right up front.
This one might have ‘news’ legs.
No name or photo, draw the logical conclusion.
The name is in the 3rd sentence.
