That shooter traveled. Austin and San Antonio are about 80 miles apart.

Texas shooting spree suspect arrested after 6 killed and 3 injured, police say

A man accused of killing six people and injuring three others, including two officers, in a series of shootings across Austin and San Antonio on Tuesday has been arrested and charged with capital murder, according to police.

Interim Austin police chief Robin Henderson announced the capital murder charges and other pending charges against the suspect at a news conference early Wednesday. The Austin Police Department says that the man is linked to four shootings in Austin and possibly a homicide in San Antonio that all took place over eight hours Tuesday; the mass shooting was the 39th of 2023, according to a Washington Post database.

While authorities did not name the suspect, Travis County jail records show that Shane James, 34, was booked on four counts of capital murder at around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The former bird site says that 28 people were shot, overheard on the scanner.

LVPD- "No further threat."

#1914

I was in a residential area near UNLV, at the home of a retired UNLV math professor. My Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI at UNLV) ukulele group was rehearsing when we heard about the active shooter. We are scheduled to perform at UNLV Beam Hall next week. We finished up and I had to find a route home to avoid all the closures. I-15 is also closed down to allow for first responders. FUCK THE NRA

#1915

That's scary poplove!

LVMPD says 3 shot.

I read on the interweb that the black band means they lost an officer, and the funeral hasn't happened, because after the funeral the band comes off.

Is that right?

Yes, the black band signifies an officer down, but not necessarily from that dept.

Reason for Metro's black band is because two Nevada State Police officers were killed by a hit and run drunk driver last week while they were assisting a motorist who was stopped on I-15 in Las Vegas. Suspect was quickly apprehended. There was supposed to be a memorial service at Alligent Stadium tonight but it has been cancelled due to the UNLV shooting.

The black bands are not limited to police. I've worn a black arm band twice - first time was in high school when a classmate committed suicide by shotgun. It is a show of respect and mourning.

Inside the god-fearing and conspiratorial worldviews of Donald Day Jr

Mr Day — with his long grey hair and chunky septum ring — appeared in his own video shortly after. Walking through a snowy field, he mourned his "sister" and "brother" Stacey and Gareth (whom he called Jane and Daniel) who died killing "f***ing devils".

For nearly a year, law enforcement in Australia and the United States did not disclose his identity. Then earlier this week the FBI released an indictment alleging the Arizona extremist was a longtime confidant of the Trains, first connecting with them in May 2020.
