Two more people were found to have been injured in the shooting on Sunday, bumping the total injured to 18.
AUSTIN, Texas — Police released new details Thursday about the deadly mass shooting in Austin, including new victim information and a revised count of how many people were shot.
Two more people were found to be injured in the shooting, according to Austin Police Department officials. It upped the total injured to 18.Â
Two victims, 21-year-old Savitha Shan and 19-year-old Ryder Harrington, were pronounced dead shortly after the shooting on Sunday. On Monday, a third victim, 30-year-old Jorge Pederson, who had recently moved to Austin, died at the hospital, said Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis.
Two people are still in the hospital, with one in critical condition, according to Davis.Â
During Thursday’s briefing, police played portions of surveillance video, 911 calls, body camera video and radio traffic to illustrate the timeline of the response and the scale of the shooting.
Officers arrived at the scene within 57 seconds of the first 911 call and immediately tended to victims outside Buford’s bar on West Sixth Street. Investigators said the shooter drove a black Cadillac SUV when he began firing a semi-automatic pistol at people outside the bar.
The shooter then stopped near West Sixth and Wood streets and began firing an AR-15-style rifle at a pedestrian before walking toward Buford’s. Davis said the guns used in the shooting were obtained legally.
At 2:03 a.m., officers located the shooter, who fired at them, according to Davis. Officers then shot and killed him.
Davis said the department had no prior criminal interactions with the shooter. She said a mental health call in New York involving the shooter in 2022 ended with him being given access to mental health resources but not being taken into custody.
On Sunday, FBI Acting Special Agent-in-Charge Alex Doran said the FBI is examining the shooter’s criminal history and background. Doran said federal investigators are examining whether there is a connection to terrorism. Davis did not give an update on whether that investigation has determined a motive.Â
Anyone with any video or photographic evidence of the shooting is asked to submit it to police via the APD website.
