Endicott McCray |
The
first incident began at 2:17 a.m. local time when police received
reports of gunshots, Austin Police Chief of Staff Brian Manley said in a news conference.
Three
victims -- all women in their 30s -- were taken to University Medical
Center Brackenridge with gunshot wounds. One additional victim refused
treatment.
Police say that there
was a disturbance on Sixth Street, a popular nightlife district, where
the suspect pulled out a weapon and began firing into the crowd.
Officials identified a person of interest on Sunday afternoon, circulating a picture of Endicott McCray.
"As officers arrived, as you can
imagine, with this being shortly after 2 a.m., and the large crowds we
have on Sixth Street at this time, all the individuals leaving the bars,
it was a very chaotic scene," Manley said. "A lot of people running in
different directions with all the gunshots that were coming out."
The
second, unrelated, incident began just seven minutes later. Police got a
call about a disturbance at a parking garage just blocks away from the
first incident.
"One individual (there) did pull out a weapon and fire it at another individual," Manley said.
Witnesses
engaged the suspect, disarmed him and took him down, Manley said. The
suspect was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening
injuries.
