“I was inside the store, but then I hear on the radio like, ‘shots fired,’ so then they just told us ‘active shooter’ … So we just ran outside. We told guests to get out,” said Target employee Freyen Sagastume. “I thought that this only happened like in the news and stuff,

Did no one tell him he couldn't park there?

To be fair, that pic could just be put in the "typical Austin driver, probably made a turn from the middle lane" file, and nobody would blink.

I'm trying to figure out how he even pulled that off.  Maybe he got the speed wobbles and did a big left/right swing off the road?  There's not a lot of room.

I drove by there this morning.  The ground between that lot and the access road has a decent slope.  And, he hit the front end of a small car to the left of that picture, out of frame.  I think he went right, off the road, at a pretty good clip.  Hit the small car, which functioned as a ramp, launching him airborne and landing a couple cars down.  Some real Dukes of Hazzard shit.

Kill this bastard now. Fuck the mentally ill excuse. He's a piece of shit who doesn't belong in a civilized society.

When officers arrived, they found Martinez Machuca in the parking lot. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:01 p.m. Officers also located Chow, his wife and their 4-year-old granddaughter. Both Chow and his granddaughter were pronounced dead at the scene, at 2:39 p.m. and 2:50 p.m., respectively, while Chow's wife sustained minor injuries.

APD said its investigation has revealed that Nieneker "randomly attacked" Martinez Machuca, a Target employee, in the parking lot, shooting and killing him as he was collecting shopping carts. Nieneker then ran to a black Jeep Cherokee and began firing as the Jeep tried to avoid the gunfire.

Police say Nieneker then ran up to a gray Toyota 4-Runner, where he shot Chow as he sat in the driver seat, before firing into the backseat and striking the 4-year-old. Chow's wife carried their granddaughter from the car, and Nieneker allegedly pushed her from the vehicle before driving the Toyota out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed.

At around 2:20 p.m., police say Nieneker found a water truck parked along the 7800 block of Mopac. He opened the driver's door and "repeatedly assaulted" the driver before pushing him out of the truck. Police say Nieneker then tried to put the truck into drive but couldn't, so he jumped out and chased a man with a pistol in his hand before running back to the Toyota 4-Runner and driving off.

Roughly five minutes later, APD received a call of a multi-vehicle crash after the 4-Runner crashed into a Volkswagen and landed on top of an Infiniti SUV. Nieneker allegedly got out of the Toyota, went over to the Volkswagen, opened the door and "repeatedly assaulted" the driver. He then pushed her out of the Volkswagen and drove off.

APD said at 2:34 p.m., a suspect matching Nieneker's description got out of the Volkswagen and went up to a Waymo, attempting to break into it. He was unsuccessful, and police say he got back in the Volkswagen and drove off.

Three minutes later, a person who said they knew Nieneker through Bible study told police that Nieneker had threw a brick through his residence on La Casa Drive in South Austin.

Just before 3 p.m., APD received a call of a naked man walking through a backyard in the same area as the acquaintance's home. Police said Nieneker was seen running into a portable toilet before leaving on foot.  

Officers found Nieneker walking naked on Montclaire Street. Officers issued commands and when Nieneker didn't comply, he was Tased and taken into custody at 3:06 p.m.

Officers checked the area and found that the matching suspect clothing previously captured on surveillance video was found inside the portable toilet.

Police said Nieneker "conducted these violent offenses," including the deadly shootings and destruction of multiple vehicles, in the span of less than an hour.

At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, police said that Nieneker "said that he was Jesus" and confirmed that Nieneker was found by police naked and holding a Bible.

His clothing was found in a nearby portable toilet, according to APD.

They should put him on a cross and if he zombies himself back 3 days later it would be a good first impression for the jury.

I think what's really, super-duper important, is that we have made sure that an obviously batshit crazy mofo with a rap sheet a mile long can obtain a firearm as easily as obtaining a quarter pounder with cheese.  That seems like a great policy choice we've made.

The suspect used a handgun that he got through his family, Sexton said. Generally, people convicted of domestic violence cannot legally possess firearms under federal law. It was unclear whether any family member will face charges.

so the whole family is retarded

And that's fantastic as well.  Super.  Well-done.

Give a psycho, who is not allowed to possess a firearm, a firearm?  You should be charged with whatever crimes he committed.  

The guns are already out there so this is the only feasible way to discourage dumbasses from giving crazy people guns. It won’t work either but at least the dumbasses will be in jail where they’re less likely to contribute to the random murdering of multiple innocent people.

People might start being a little more careful about their guns if they were held responsible when a family member who should not have access to a firearm, has access to their’s.

Maybe if we made it easier for bat shit crazies to obtain quarter pounders with cheese, there would be fewer homicides.

Seriously fuck his family. His brother was thought to be initially involved in a shooting just a week earlier in Leander. I guess he didn't do the shooting, but his buddy did. 

Then they give this dipshit motherfucker brother a gun and he goes on a rampage because he's Jesus.

Ethan Nieneker's confession

"I have a confession to make. I killed a man and a baby girl today. In Target. In the Target parking lot. I shot them both, because I’m Jesus," Nieneker said after the shooting. 

According to the arrest affidavit, he said he did not have a mental health diagnosis. He said he had not used any drugs in the past week, or had any alcohol since August 2024.

"I realized I was Jesus, and I had to grab my gun and shoot a couple of people to save us all. I killed these people out of love, not out of hate… I realized that I had to kill a couple of people to set everyone free, so I did it. It was just random, I guess. It was like I was just trying to get anyone I could," Nieneker said. 

According to Nieneker, he was given the gun by a family member. 

He claimed the Target employee, Rosa, had "come at me" while Rosa was pushing shopping carts in the parking lot. However, according to the arrest affidavit, surveillance video showed Nieneker approaching Rosa from behind. 

He also told police Rosa had nothing in their hands beside the shopping carts. 

"I just emptied the whole clip randomly. It just seems like a random a** shooting," Nieneker said.

Rosa was the first to be shot and killed. Then, 65-year-old Adam Chow and his 4-year-old granddaughter were both shot and killed while being carjacked. 

Chow tried to shield his granddaughter when the shooting happened, the arrest affidavit stated.

Chow’s wife, who was also in the car, carried their granddaughter from the vehicle and Nieneker pushed her from the vehicle. Nieneker then drove the Toyota from the parking lot at a high rate of speed. 

Nieneker told police he "shouldn't have shot them." 

After the carjacking and shootings, Nieneker assaulted several other victims and stole a second car, causing a five-vehicle crash. 

After the crash, the arrest affidavit said Nieneker removed his clothes and items in a porta potty because he felt he had to put everything he loved in a "disgusting spot."

 

Police say that the investigation found that Nieneker randomly attacked Rosa, who was a Target employee, in the parking lot.

Nieneker shot and killed Rosa while she was collecting shopping carts. Nieneker then ran to a black Jeep Cherokee and began firing as the Jeep attempted to evade the gunfire. 

Police say Nieneker then ran up to a gray Toyota 4-Runner where he shot Chow as he sat in the driver seat. He then fired into the backseat, striking Chow's 4-year-old granddaughter. 

Chow’s wife carried their granddaughter from the vehicle and Nieneker pushed her from the vehicle. Nieneker then drove the Toyota from the parking lot at a high rate of speed.

SCOTUS: mentally ill people had guns since the founding, therefore it’s unconstitutional to deny them guns today 

Well, to more accurately state their interpretation in light of Bruen (again, perhaps one of the most disingenuous, worst-reasoned decisions the Court has ever released), the finding will be that in 1791, there were no laws banning the possession of firearms by the criminally insane.  Therefore, any law doing so now violates the 2nd amendment based on their "originalist" approach.

To get an idea of how absurd that approach is, applying it to the 13th amendment would mean that the 13th amendment only bans slavery of black people of african descent, as freeing that particular group from bondage was the only intended purpose at the time it was adopted.  Therefore, the new program to enslave hispanic immigrants is not barred by the Constitution.

In our zeal to "protect gun rights," we've ended up taking some of the most nonsensical positions imaginable, and it's fucking suicidal.  This dude never should have been allowed to be within a fucking mile of a firearm.  Instead, he was in a household full of them, apparently.
