 4 shot in downtown Austin during final weekend of SXSW festival





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." 

According to the Austin-American Statesman, Austin Police Association President Ken Casaday said prior to the shooting, there had been a total of 31 arrests and 19 firearms has been seized in downtown Austin.


There were several shootings in the same area of East 6th Street, a downtown tourist nightlife staple, last summer. In June 2021, a tourist from Michigan was killed and 13 others were shot in Austin's worst mass shooting in seven years, according to the Statesman. in July 2021, two women were injured in a shooting on East 6h Street, and another person was killed in a third shooting just two weeks later, according to the Statesman.
