AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Two people were killed in a shooting at a Target store in Austin, Texas, on Monday and a suspect has been detained, police said.
Austin police said in a post on the social platform X that the scene is still active, and an investigation is ongoing.
The police statement did not say if anyone was injured. Austin-Travis County emergency services posted on X that it assisted four patients but provided no details.
Target corporate didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment. The shooting came amid back-to-school shopping ahead of the upcoming school year.
Video shows a massive police and emergency response to the store parking lot.
Austin police identified a suspect as a white male wearing shorts and a Hawaiian-style floral shirt. Police closed several roads in the area and warned the public not to approach him.
