Live in NW Hills area, just got a reverse 911 text and call to “shelter in place until the police clear the area.” Any idea what that’s all about?

 

And just to be safe, I’ve cleared a field of fire in front of my house.

 

Ok, I lied. I’m really just eating brunch and getting ready to do some work. But, you know, if some zombies are heading my way, I can change my plans.

That is near the Trader Joe’s in Arboretum. Constant sirens by my house 

Technically rain creek parkway and great hills trails is the Triumphant Love Church

Well....being that we’re regularly right there (Trader Joe’s is there), yeah....fuck. And I’m hearing lots of sirens.

Fucking fuck this shit. Gonna make my increasingly anti-gun wife flip her shit.

Any word on the shooter?

Active shooter at TJ’s at Arboretum.

Mother fucking mother fucker. That’s one of our primary groceries. My wife is there probably 3 times a week.

She is going to flip her shit. I mean....I literally just checked find my friends to make sure she wasn’t there.

Fuck this shit.

Is it at Trader Joe’s or those apartments close by?

Reading it might be those apartments across the street from Church. Or suspect is hiding there

Fucking constant sirens.

At an apartment complex.  Not TJs or other retail.  Looks like Arboretum Oaks.

Lots of air support overhead 

Yep. Awesome. So, we’ve got an active shooter in/around our hood, and he’s on the loose. That’s swell.

2021 is going GREAT.

What is one more day of lockdown?

Yep. No traffic on a busy road I can see from my back deck. That’s awesome.

You may want to put on a bulletproof facemask.

Mea culpa. It was evidently at the apartment complex across from Starbucks right there. Same shopping center. Was talking to a friend that lives in one of the adjacent apartment complexes

Just don't shoot the coyotes.

Cool thread 

three people shot dead, gunman on the loose.  Yeah, sorry for being concerned for our fellow Austinites.  

And you'll predictably make deep insights into the gunman, the types of weapons used, and how none of us knows anything close to how much you do about how this all played out.

My ROE is not that discriminatory. The yotes are at risk.
Gawd I hope the cops don't shoot him. He's a good kid

lol fuck yourself. There are any number of police shooting threads to go pick this fight in. This thread is for information on a current incident in Austin, on a Texas sports board. Just might be in the vicinity of a few posters, friends, and family. Take your troll bullshit elsewhere.

KVUE confirmed with APD that this was a domestic violence situation and not at random.  Gunman still at large.

Chopper search circle looks to fall just shy of my casa. That’s nice news.

Made sure all the doors are locked. We back up to a nice green belt where one could run and hide. So that’s fun.

Why did I think you lived in Houston?  

Anyway, you're right about that greenbelt. I know it well from working right next to it for years.  Not a good area for a shootout because you can't see your background.  Everywhere you look/don't look on a nice Sunday like today...there could be hikers, joggers, kids exploring, etc.  You're in a crowded place, you can evacuate it.  Dense greenbelt like that with lots and lots of easy access points for kids and bikers that don't know what's going on up above.  Could be trouble if this guy wants to play HEAT:  Greenbelt Edition.

As it happened at a residence, that is usually how these things go. Still, love the fact that he’s on the run behind my house. That’s fun.

Green belt is an easy place to lose him for sure. And potential for additional casualties. However it’s very possible he was able to up and drive away immediately after before anyone really knew what was going on.

KVUE saying the police know who it is. Why are they not offering any description of who to look for?

They already issued a description.

But despite knowing his identity and what weapon was used, SWAT officers are dressed like they're defending The Outpost in the Korengal.

what was the weapon type used?  Not seeing it on the local news/statesman sites. 

I opened this thread by firing on the left click with my 1911 R1 for the sake of full immersion to the content. Now on my second shot at the back button to return to DT forum.

gun

I’m guessing he’s hiding out in the small patch of wooded area behind the Arboretum Oaks. Between the apartments and 360

Is Cool River still open?
