Authorities in Austin, Texas have taken three juveniles into custody in connection with a weekend shooting spree that wounded four people across the city, according to local officials.<\/p>

The suspects traveled throughout Austin in multiple stolen vehicles, opening fire on fire stations, apartment complexes, and residential homes during a crime spree that spanned from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis announced Sunday.<\/p>

Officers arrested two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, after stopping them in a stolen vehicle and pursuing them on foot when they attempted to flee. A third suspect who had also fled from the car was captured Sunday evening at a gas station in Manor, located approximately 15 miles northeast of Austin. Authorities confirmed this individual was also a minor but released no additional information about age or other details.<\/p>

According to Davis, the weapon used in the shooting incidents had previously been stolen by the 15-year-old suspect, while the 17-year-old was already sought in connection with a different firearm theft.<\/p>

City officials issued a shelter-in-place directive for a significant portion of south Austin on Sunday during the manhunt for the suspects. The order was subsequently canceled after two of the suspects were captured.<\/p>

Emergency responders transported four shooting victims to area hospitals, with one person suffering life-threatening injuries, according to officials.<\/p>

Davis reported that the suspects had taken at least four different vehicles during their movement around the city.<\/p>

“We don’t have any specific motive that has been identified. In fact, these actions appear to be random,” Mayor Kirk Watson said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
