Overseas, two teenagers have been taken into custody and a potential third suspect is being sought following at least 10 random weekend shootings in Austin, Texas, that left four people injured.

Youths driving around the city in stolen vehicles fired at two fire stations, apartment buildings and houses during a string of robberies and shootings from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said.

The two suspects, aged 15 and 17, were caught after they were pulled over in an allegedly stolen car and attempted to run. A third person who had been in the car also ran and remained at large.

Davis said it was unknown if that person was involved in the shootings. She said the firearm used in the shootings had been stolen by the 15-year old, and the 17-year old was wanted for a separate firearm theft.

The city ordered residents of a large part of the southern area of the Texan capital to shelter in place while police hunted for the suspects. With two suspects in custody, the order was later lifted.
