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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overseas, two teenagers have been taken into custody and a potential third suspect is being sought following at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-679129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
