Austin Shooting

A gunman opened fire in the parking lot of a Target store in Texas' capital, killing at least three people, before stealing two cars during a getaway that ended with police using a Taser to detain him on the other side of the city, authorities said. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the suspect is a man in his 30s with a mental health history. Davis said the suspect fled the scene in a stolen car, wrecked that car and then stole another from a dealership. He was captured about 32 km away, in south Austin, where he was taken into custody, she said during a news conference. She said officers responding to a call about 2.15 pm on Monday found three people who had been shot in the Target parking lot. Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services Chief Robert Luckritz said two people were pronounced dead at the scene and one person was taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead. He said another person was treated on the scene for unrelated injuries. This is a very sad day

Police talk of "separate shootings in the same area", but are silent on number of gunmen, or spot from where attacks were launched
