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.”

They just be wildin.
Yogi???
Let me guess: it’s them again, Yogi.
Are politicians aware that every new holiday they create for blacks will result in more dead blacks?
white, straight, Republican gun owners to blame /s
Well, of course.
Last year it was Prairie View.
Big surprise.
“Are politicians aware that every new holiday they create for blacks will result in more dead blacks?”
Hmmmmm, ever suspect that may be the underlying intent?
Do tell...
There is an epidemic of black on black murders every year but not to worry, the FBI and DOJ are keeping a sharp eye out for parents challenging school boards and patriotic MAGA voters.
As usual.
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.
Would that be the racist oppressors of innocent black police officers and firemen that the black community has been insisting on defunding and firing that saved the kids?
And no description of the suspect was provided?
Guess none was needed.
Juneteenth, an antiquated date really and we may as well celebrate the invention of the wheel Federally, as far as I’m concerned, this year comes on Wednesday, June 19.
Of course there is a killing on it by the stupid out there. It’s now a cause for a ruckus.
This year Juneteenth comes on the third Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls on any day from the 11th to the 20th of your birth month, you’ll get your Social Security payment on Tuesday, June 18. Typically, you’d receive that payment on the third Wednesday in June. But this year, the third Wednesday in June is a federal holiday (Juneteenth).
So the banks are closed on that day and for me that is just one more nuisance when it comes to these ‘holidays’.
Sad ….
Party over here!
Is it them against Yogi, yes it is boo boo, yes it is
Please.
This celebration of illiteracy had no meaning until obama thought it would be a good way to stir resentment.
Sometimes the trash just takes itself out. I looked for a downside for .04 seconds, and didn’t see one, so carry on.
