Four people suffered gunshot wounds in a shooting in downtown Austin early Sunday as the city wrapped the final weekend of the South by Southwest Festival, which returned this year after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. and all four victims were hospitalized with minor injuries, according to police.
Austin police said Sunday afternoon that a suspect was in custody. They said a preliminary investigation indicated the shooting “started as a disturbance between two groups of people” and it was not a “random act.”
