    ATM, this is all I could find. It’s from Newsweek.

    Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis identified the suspect as a man in his 30s with “a mental health history.” Details about the shooting victims have not been released.

    According to Davis, the suspect initially fled the scene in a stolen car, crashed it, and then stole another vehicle from a dealership. He was captured about 20 miles away in south Austin, where officers took him into custody, Davis said at a news conference.

    Initial reports from APD indicated that a child may have been involved in the shooting, but during an afternoon press conference, neither Davis nor Luckritz offered any update on that detail.
