Texas police arrested a gunman who allegedly went on a violent city-wide shooting spree, killing 6 people and injuring three more — including two police officers — on Tuesday.

The male suspect was arrested and charged with Capital Murder of Multiple Persons late Tuesday night, the Austin Police Department said.

“The suspect is in custody and no longer poses a threat to our Austin community,” Austin Police Department’s Interim Chief of Police Robin Henderson said at a press conference Wednesday morning.

While police did not name the suspect, sources told KXAN the gunman is Shane James, 34.

Travis County jail records show a man with the same name was booked into the jail at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and charged with capital murder of multiple people, the outlet reported.

They are not telling us too much about Shane.

Maybe his middle name is Wayne.

By Tuesday night, officials announced that the same suspect was involved in the ‘grisly’ murder of a couple in their 50s whose bodies were found stuffed in a small bedroom in San Antonio, some 80 miles from Austin. The gunman has a connection to that house, law enforcement said without elaborating. That killing occurred before the Austin shootings.

Probably a different Shane than this one:

Oh yeah.
Don’t worry.
I’m sure Shane was on the FBI’s radar.

Yeah, and this explains why.

All the goodie two shoes wanting to rid themselves of Santos at this time are asking for it.

We are going to be down to a one seat majority. Time to do some boating.
