On Monday, the Austin Police Department updated the community on the mass shooting that happened in downtown Austin over the weekend.

The press conference featured Austin Mayor Kirk Watson and Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis.

“The last 34 hours have been some of the most challenging of my career,” Davis said in her remarks. “This has been difficult for our community, devastating to the impacted families, and challenging to our APD family.”

She acknowledged the department is still in the early stages of the investigation. “This is a complicated and large crime scene,” she said. “Our priority is finding answers and the motives behind this crime. I want to thank everyone that has supported our communities and this response. Families will need this in the days ahead.”

Davis sent her condolences and thoughts to the families of the more than a dozen people shot, as well as the two people confirmed dead in the attack: 24-year-old Saveetha Sean and 19-year-old Ryder Harrington. Later in the day, police confirmed 30-year-old Jorge Pederson died on Sunday morning as a result of the shooting.

Davis also said that a victim resource center is being put into place. The department has received calls and tips from numerous people looking to help the investigation more forward.

“The work being done by the Austin Fire Department, the Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Service, and APD was quite impressive,” Davis said. “Once the initial scene was secured, we reached out to our federal partners to assist in this resource intensive scene and to address concerns of potential terrorism.”

Davis said the department continues to work in tandem with the FBI to conduct interviews and gather evidence. “We have over 150 witnesses to this event that we are working with,” she said. “And we are also investigating an officer-involved shooting.”

That tape will be released later this week. “As I have committed in the past, in any officer-involved shooting, we will be releasing info as quickly as possible,” she said. “Potentially Thursday, we will be releasing body worn camera of this event, as well as information on the suspect, including criminal history.”

She added, “I want you to know that we are making tremendous, significant progress on this case, but it will take time.”
