Two people died and at least six others — including two children — were injured during a shooting at a Juneteenth festival in Texas Saturday night, officials said.

A fight between two groups broke out at around 10:50 p.m. during the Round Rock Juneteenth Celebration.

“During that altercation, someone produced a gun and began to fire,” Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks said. “Multiple victims were hit.”

Two people, who police said were not part of the altercation, were pronounced dead at the scene.

“We do not have a suspect in custody,” Banks added, saying the suspects fled the area

A description of the suspect was not provided.

Four adults and two children were rushed to area hospitals with “potentially serious injuries,” according to Austin-Travis County EMS.

“I would like to thank the police officers and fire department for their quick response. I have no doubt that their actions of rendering aid to the victims saved lives,” Banks said.

“It is unfortunate that we are here celebrating a wonderful event and we have a tragedy that happens.”

Juneteenth

That sounds like something a 6 year old would come up with.

Someone “produced” a gun? Now THAT would impress me. Like out of sawdust or some other material just laying around?

You can be sure if it Westinghouse. I believe they used a/c current for that bunch. There were a lot of commie spies on the NYC area those days.

I lived in RR for the most part of 2 years while working on a large data center. I lived in the extended stay hotel.

Nice town back in 2003. Even saw the jail cells where a couple famous outlaws stayed in the 1800s.

Sad to see it go.

I drove by a Westinghouse facility years ago. All of the letter in the “You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse” were lit except for the b, the e, and the r.

It happened due to the Biden Regime.

Contrast this with the 110,900 people at Kyle Field in College Station, TX last night at the George Strait concert, with no hint of violence.

Might be a good idea for Trump47 to de-radicalize this “holiday” by renaming it Emancipation Day.
