ROUND ROCK, Texas —
Two people were killed and multiple others were injured in a shooting during a Juneteenth Celebration Saturday night around 10:50 p.m. in Round Rock, Texas, according to Round Rock Police.
The suspect or suspects responsible for the shooting are still at large. Round Rock Police urge anyone with information about the shooting or video of the shooting to call Round Rock Police at (512) 218-5500.
The shooting began when two groups began fighting with each other near the vendor area during the Round Rock Juneteenth Festival at Old Settler's Park. During the fight, at least one person pulled out a gun and began shooting. Round Rock Police are unsure if there were multiple people shooting during the incident.
Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks said that the identity of people killed and injured will be revealed later and that information will include the total number of people injured.
Round Rock Police officers and Round Rock Firefighters that were working at the event immediately responded to the shooting, applying tourniquets to the wounded and performing CPR.
Police did not release a description of the suspect. Chief Banks said that there were multiple descriptions of the suspect and different accounts of what happened during the shooting.
Old Settler's Park will be closed Sunday morning.
This seems to be common. Is it reporting or a systematic thing? Are there crowds of white people getting together and people get shot.......you know, other than the military?
All sorts of fests cancelled in my area. Akron cancelled just about everything. Lots of local home days celebrations in the suburbs disrupted by fights and gunfire.
too dark to see or identify the perps. juneteenth you see. or didn’t.
Must want to avoid offending the Martians by saying the shooter was green.
Juneteenth is the national Kiss Black Ass Day
Juneteenth turning out to be a real cultural values experience
Not Amish
Some people claim, there’s a woman to blame..
I hope they had some BBQ chicken before the shooting began...?
They probably were having a philosophical discussion over the relative merits of rationalism vs empiricism and it just got out of hand.
Coulter Rule. By not telling the ethnicity of the perps they’ve told us.
Sure is....
I had never heard “Juneteenth” until last year.....
Can't they give us the number injured? Maybe they can compete with Chicago with numbers involved.
As I’ve mentioned before in other similar threads, trusting that it was a good and safe day to be at the shooting ranges (trap, skeet, rifle, handgun, etc.) in Texas and elsewhere in the United States and here in the Great White North.
“Police did not release a description of the suspect”
They all look alike?
The fact that no racial description of the perps has been given tells you all you need to know. It ain't Whitey.
It’s just a cultural tradition.
Those damn white supremacists are always causing trouble.
Can’t wait to see the body count in Chicago this week.
“Need I look??”
At who? So far the descriptions of the still out there shooter haven’t identitifed anyone. Could be an alien. Probably is, but not from the US.
