オースティン警察は、週末に市内で発生した少なくとも12件の連続銃撃事件に関与したとして、10代の容疑者3人を逮捕した。この事件では計4人が負傷した。犯行は盗難車と盗難銃器から始まり、無差別な攻撃と標的を絞った攻撃の両方が含まれていた。
銃撃事件は土曜日の朝、アパートから車両が盗まれ、店舗から銃器が持ち去られたことで始まった。その後2日間、容疑者らは住宅、車両、集合住宅、そして2か所の消防署に向けて発砲し、その大半はオースティン南部で発生した。計4人が銃撃を受けて負傷し、そのうち1人は生命に関わる重傷を負ったほか、複数の車両や建物が損壊した。
X（旧Twitter）での初期の反応としては、10代の容疑者3人の逮捕に対する安堵の声や、銃器へのアクセスを可能にした親の責任を問う声、またオースティンの裁判官による寛大な処分を懸念する声などが上がっている。

They should be held on jail. Liberal judge, in a liberal city will probably let them back out on bail.
