Austin law enforcement officials announced Sunday that they have detained two teenage suspects following a weekend crime spree that involved a dozen separate shooting incidents across the Texas capital.<\/p>

During a news briefing, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis revealed that officers had arrested a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old male in connection with the shooting incidents that occurred throughout Saturday and into early Sunday morning across south and east sections of the city.<\/p>

The violent episodes resulted in four individuals being struck by gunfire, according to Davis. One victim sustained serious wounds while three others received minor injuries during the incidents.<\/p>

Davis disclosed that the younger suspect had stolen a firearm from a retail establishment on Saturday. The older teen was already wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for allegedly stealing a weapon from that same store, the chief explained.<\/p>

Throughout their crime spree, the pair stole more than four different vehicles while traveling around Austin, Davis reported. She noted that information from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office indicated a third young Hispanic male escaped on foot when officers captured the two juveniles.<\/p>

The police chief stated that investigators have not yet determined what motivated the shooting incidents, which remain under active investigation.<\/p>

Davis described how two of the shooting episodes targeted separate fire stations, with one incident resulting in damage to a truck. Additional shootings were directed at residential structures throughout the area, she explained.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
