Why did they shut down Mopac at Spicewood Springs for a shooting at 183 and Ohlen?

Don't know, but I came up on it right as it happened.  Getting through that intersection was a master class in stupid Austin drivers.

Ugh. Guess I'm not leaving my house anytime soon.

I heard they ended up catching the guy near the river further down Mopac.  If that's true, my best guess is he ditched his gun, and possibly other things, somewhere further north on Mopac, so they shut it down to gather the evidence (or simply find the weapon before someone else did).

Outlet from the presser said 3 shot and killed in the parking lot. Then he stole a car and fled. Apparently crashed and stole another car from a VW dealer.

Man.  We're gonna check all the boxes, seems like.

Did they shut it down for the shooting or was it just part of the general construction mess up there?

For the shooting specifically. The updated KXAN article explained it.

Quote

 

Police said the suspect stole a vehicle from the scene, drove away and crashed the vehicle. APD said on X that the 8000 block of MoPac southbound frontage road was shut down between Executive Center Drive and Anderson Lane.

KXAN was also at that scene where you could see a black SUV that had crashed into several parked vehicles and was resting on top of another.

The suspect then stole another vehicle and was later found by Austin Police in southeast Austin in the 2400 block of La Costa Court, where he was taken into custody — that is about 18.5 miles away from the scene of the shooting.

I couldn’t figure it out either but I was right there before it shut down. This was up on the hill on the service road.

I’m still trying to figure out how it was related to the shooting.

Wow. Made it a long way

Will probably end up like the chainsaw guy and bus neck stabber. Crazy people they decline to prosecute due to mental illness until they eventually kill someone.
