Hostage Situation - 1900 Block of West 35th Street (Jackson Ave.) Near Mopac

Featured Replies

"Initial reports indicate the suspect may have entered a nearby medical office and taken an unknown number of people hostage."

It's a building with a large children's medical office.

We saw a bunch of cops headed that way, but didn't realize it was this serious.

Seems resolved.

Details? Or where are you seeing that?

Detectives asked the assailants, "Which weighs more...all the light-rail trains that pass through downtown Austin or all the beef used to make the ribs at Franklin?"  

Kind of an "Inside Job" vibe, you ask me.

How long did they get to play Green Baret for?

Listen fuckstick, the girl that is inside is a the pediatrician for a lot of our kids. Her and her family live in Tarrytown. Save your police hate and stupid fucking comments until this gets resolved.

I had to route around this earlier. Soooo many cops there already and that was around 5:30.

I've never seen/heard of Citizen App before, but apparently it's an attempt to crowdsource shit in a more logical manner - rather than reading a bunch of tweets, etc. that can jump around in time and location, it tries to organize it in a timeline of sorts.

I got it back when 35 was being blocked off by BLM protests. You should delete it. Knowing the actual crime in the area is pure paranoia.

I’ve liked it for shit very close to home. Often these things don’t show up in news because they don’t affect enough people.

spelling and grammar. the double whammy. nice. 

8:30 p.m. update: As a hostage situation that started more than three hours ago at a doctor's office in Central Austin continued Tuesday evening, SWAT negotiators could be heard calling out on a bullhorn to the hostage taker urging him to answer calls or text messages on his phone.

“Your life is very important to me,” a member of the SWAT team said over the loudspeaker. “And I know life is very important to you.”

The SWAT team's attempts to communicate with the people inside, which could be heard in the surrounding areas, also suggested that an Austin doctor is one of the hostages and that another doctor may be the hostage taker. 

“You don’t deserve to go through this... for all you have done for others... that is why I want to help you work through this. You have saved a lot of lives,” a hostage negotiator could be heard over the loudspeaker. 

Police have not said how many people are being held or confirmed other details of the incident.

I must have a lot of neighbors who contribute because I still see stuff almost daily. I live near two highways so there’s always an accident or situation to avoid in traffic. Helps me decide which way to go home since I never trust that bitch in the phone.

How the fuck have they not sent anybody in?  They  have to have eyes on him, or are hearing him or something.  2 fucking hours.

Someone mentioned earlier they have people in the adjoining building. I’m wondering if they have a mic or something picking up noise/voices. Maybe I watch too much tv.

Not good. This is my daughters’ pediatrician office. At least one of the hostages still inside is one of the 3 doctors in the practice.

Is it dr dodson?

Allegedly. Being held. But that was deleted from Reddit. Which is the only source so far.

I was heading south on Mopac around 5:45 and saw the Southbound 35th street exit blocked off and then the SWAT truck  heading north a minute or two later.

What a shitty/unfortunate situation.   Really hope the negotiator(s) reach the desired outcome here. 

Of course there’s a damn freight train rolling right through there blaring its horn probably fucking up the comms and making everybody inside more on edge.

Piecing it together, looks like it could be holzman?

That wasn't the name removed from the Reddit thread.  Who knows?

From the bios, she's the only one who has a husband that's listed as another doctor so that could make some sense.

Just based on the report that the negotiator was referring to the perp as Dr.  Her husband is a plastic surgeon.

Don't think it's holzman, they're referring to the hostage taker as a he. I really hope she's ok.

Good point.

Just based on the report that the negotiator was referring to the perp as Dr.  Her husband is a plastic surgeon. 
But they're also saying to the hostage taker they want his legacy to be one of helping children- i.e. a pediatrician?
