What If There Was An Austin Shootout And Nobody Noticed?

It took a while, but it appears that at least one Austin media outlet, Fox 7, finally noticed something that was bubbling on Twitter Sunday morning, namely that there were a bunch of shots fired in downtown Austin early Sunday morning.

And there’s video:

Looks like someone wanted to fistfight, a friend wisely pulled him away, and the other party decided to open up as they were walking away.

A few points:

  • That’s like the third video of the shooting I’ve tried to embed, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that one disappears at some point as well.
  • I count something like thirteen shots fired.
  • Police response was quick.
  • Although this happened in front of the homeless ARCH building on Seventh Street, the perps don’t appear to be Adlers, but just those “youths” we hear so much about.

    • The Sixth Street district use to be an overpriced nightlife district that only occasionally got spicy, but in the last several years it’s gotten progressively more dangerous.
