AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A gunman opened fire Monday in a Target store parking lot in the Texas capital, killing at least three people, then stole two cars during a getaway that ended with police using a Taser to detain him on the other side of the city, authorities said.
Only one of the incidents they listed happened in their neighborhood, the other incidents happened miles away from them on opposite sides of town over a year apart.
No, this is not at all like “claiming Chicago is incredibly safe so you shouldn’t worry about crime.” Chicago’s homicide rate is over 7 times higher than Austin’s. And based in the incident they shared, they live in fucking West Campus adjacent to the University of Texas, not the South Side of Chicago.
