Austin police kill armed gunman after 3 die, 14 wounded in bar shooting

Three people are dead and 14 others injured after a shooting at a busy bar in Austin, Texas, early Sunday morning, authorities said.

The gunfire erupted just before 2 a.m. at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden on West Sixth Street, a packed entertainment district downtown.

When officers arrived, they encountered an armed male. Three officers opened fire, killing the suspect.

Austin-Travis County EMS Chief Robert Luckritz pointed to how quickly first responders got to the scene.

“We received a call at 1:39 a.m. and within 57 seconds, the first paramedics and officers were on scene actively treating the patients,” Luckritz said.

City officials, including Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, praised the rapid police and EMS response, saying it “definitely saved lives.”

Luckritz said three of the injured were listed in critical condition and taken to area hospitals.

The shooting comes amid ongoing safety concerns along Austin’s Sixth Street entertainment strip, which has seen multiple violent incidents in recent years as police and business owners work to improve crowd-control measures, according to local KVUE.

“There is chaos in front of that bar every weekend, OK? This is not a new thing,” Hugo Mendez, owner of Blindside Tattoos and Blindside Lounge, told the outlet. “It’s not necessarily Sixth Street. It’s certain bars… that don’t carry the standard.”
