At least one person was hurt Monday night after an incident in an East Austin shopping-plaza parking lot near Manor Road and U.S. 183, where police quickly set up a visible presence and began combing the area for clues. By Tuesday morning, officials had released few details, and both the motive and the full extent of the injuries were still unknown.
Officers Called To Possible Shooting Or Stabbing
According to KVUE, officers were dispatched after a call reporting what was described as either a shooting or a stabbing in the parking lot. First responders treated at least one person at the scene while investigators remained at the plaza, searching for physical evidence and checking for any available surveillance video.
Police Silent On Victim’s Condition And Any Arrests
"Police have not said whether anyone was arrested," KVUE reported, and the department has not released the victim's condition. Detectives say they are continuing to investigate but have not provided additional operational details as they work to piece together what happened in the lot.
