Austin: A shooting in a crowded entertainment district of downtown Austin yesterday set off a chaotic scene, leaving one woman dead, three wounded and the police searching for a suspect.
Austin police chief Brian Manley says the police received reports of gunshots in the area after 2 PM. "It was a very chaotic scene," Manley said. He added that the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while three women were taken to University Medical Center. Another victim declined to be transported to the hospital. He did not rule out that a suspect might be one of the people transported to the hospital.
Meanwhile, another simultaneous shot fired turned out to be a confrontation at a parking garage and a man was taken to the hospital.
