AUSTIN (KXAN) — One person is dead and three bystanders were injured after an officer-involved shooting on Sixth Street, according to police. It happened about 10 minutes before midnight Saturday evening in the often crowded 200 block of East Sixth Street between Brazos and San Jacinto streets.

Interim Austin Police Chief Robin Henderson briefed reporters about the shooting at a news conference early Sunday morning outside police headquarters. Henderson said the incident started when officers responded to a report of an individual trying to illegally carry a gun into a bar. An employee alerted police.

“As officers approached the suspect, the suspect pulled out the firearm and pointed it in the direction of officers and innocent bystanders,” said Henderson. “In response, three APD officers discharged their department-approved firearms at the suspect. The suspect sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was later pronounced deceased.”
