Buddy of mine lives in the neighborhood said they got the all clear so he rode bikes with his kid to Barton Hills Elementary and later found out they rode right past the suspect dude was just casually walking down Barton Hills Dr. so the all clear was a fuck up. Also said the perp broke into a house on one of the side streets and the homeowner shot the dude.   

Yep, homeowner shot him.  Found out this afternoon the homeowner is a good friend of ours.

Off topic,  it does anybody remember the Shoal Creek Groper back in the 90’s?
for several years women jogging on shoal creek were getting groped on the trail and the dude ended up raping a couple of women.
 

IIRC they never caught anybody. 

I remember that the police sketch they kept showing on TV looked like every generic white guy ever. Not particularly helpful.
 

Plenty of parking at Zilker right now.

Anyone who thinks Austin is more unsafe than other Texas big cities lives in a dipshit burb where only people who are afraid of everything live.

Dude's probably posting from the safety of Liberty Hill.

Cherry picking stories about crime is so stupid.  Just like what I did with River Oaks.  And yet he did it AGAIN!? I can keep doing that, too.

Fucking hero. Was he prepared because of all of the public notices?

He actually said that's exactly what saved him and his family.  They received the alerts and he grabbed his gun on the off chance.

Shooter from yesterday. Of course he has a recent Felony gun charge dismissed.

UPDATE on the man who opened fire at Zilker on Wednesday:

The criminal, 30-year-old Brandon Thompson, was shooting at his girlfriend. She was shot in the back of the head.

Thompson ran into Barton Hills and bursts into a random home, where the homeowner shot him. Thompson was then arrested.

Thompson is originally from Mechanicsburg, Ohio and has been living in Austin for years, perhaps working as a chef. He lived in a four-bedroom house near McKinney State Park.
 

I'm told by sources he was a constant menace to police and at one point evaded them with a stolen motorcycle.

He was arrested 7 times before. All 10 previous charges were dismissed or declined by prosecutors, except for two breezy plea deals.

At last reporting, his girlfriend was in critical condition and not expected to survive.

Lubbock has an airport?

Anything’s an airport if you’re brave enough to go there
