From the Daily Mail: Three people have died after a gunman opened fire at a Target parking lot in Austin on Monday afternoon – and the suspect has been detained.
The 32-year-old attacker, who was described as white and wearing a Hawaiian shirt, fired at shoppers at the store on Research Boulevard in Texas just before 3pm ET.
Austin Police Department said the gunman was detained sometime before 3.15pm, and that four people were hurt in total, including one child. Three people have died.
A motive has not been established – but the suspect has a criminal history in Texas.
After opening fire in the parking lot, the gunman hijacked a car, then crashed it, and hijacked a second vehicle before he was finally tracked down by police.
Officers reportedly had to use a taser on the suspect to detain the suspect, who reportedly has a known mental health history. His identity has not yet been released to the public.
The names and ages of the victims have also not yet been released.
Three people are dead after a shooting at a north Austin Target, according to police. The suspect is in custody.
