The Austin American-Statesman reported: “Investigators determined that three suspects entered an apartment at the Creekside on Parmer Lane complex around 10:30 p.m. and two homeowners inside responded by firing shots at the group, said Austin police Officer Bino Cadenas.

“Police began to receive 911 calls around 10:30 p.m. that shots had been fired in the area, Cadenas said. When officers arrived to the complex, they found the suspects had “trauma to their person,” he said.
“Two of the suspects were pronounced dead by medics and the third was taken to a hospital with injuries that are not expected to be life-threatening, Cadenas said.”
KXAN reported: “Tyler Watts was just moving into his new Creekside apartment when the shooting happened. He thought a spot farther from where he used to live at Lamar and Rundberg two years ago would be safer.
“The boxes are still piled up in his new unit. He recently moved away from violence in California.
“That was the whole point of coming up north was getting away from it. To know that it’s up here, it’s pretty surreal. It’s pretty ridiculous,” said Watts.
”A day later after the shooting, the tape was limited to the stairwell leading up to the unit, but the carnage of the night’s violence was still evident.
”That’s what you come home to. A double murder, or homicide. It’s not awesome,” said Watts. ”
Watts demonstrates that odd idea that violent crime cannot happen anywhere which is why we need to be armed and ready at all times and places.
