At least three people were killed overnight in a nightlife district in the Texas city of Austin in the USA. Police said 14 others were injured in connection with shootings at a bar. Three of them are difficult.
The police were called around 2 a.m. (local time) and found an armed man at the scene. Three police officers “returned fire” on him and killed the suspect. “This is a tragic, tragic incident,” said a police officer.
Rescue workers arrived at the scene in less than a minute after the emergency call. Nothing was initially disclosed about the background to the crime. The police and the city’s mayor announced further press conferences in the coming hours. (hkl/sda/dpa)
