AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Someone was shot inside a downtown library in Texas\u2019 state capital city on Saturday, police said, prompting emergency vehicles and personnel to converge on the building and a shelter-in-place alert to be issued. A suspect later was taken into custody in another part of the city. <\/p>\n

The shooting victim was taken to a local hospital, where the person was in serious but stable condition Saturday afternoon, the Austin Police Department said. <\/p>\n

Shortly after noon, Austin\u2019s 911 system received reports of a shooting incident at the Austin Central Library, Assistant Police Chief Lee Rogers said in a media briefing. <\/p>\n

A suspect left the scene before the arrival of officers, but the person was later located and placed into custody in the city\u2019s South Austin neighborhood about 1:25 p.m., police said. Rogers said had no more information on the suspect or where specifically in the library the shooting occurred. Police said the library was evacuated, and the shelter-in-place was lifted later. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis appears to be an isolated incident, not an active shooter situation,\u201d Rogers said, adding that the incident involved one suspect and one victim.<\/p>\n
