EDIT: alleged shooter (per APD press conference just now) is this guy, a cop and alleged pedo:

EDIT2: he has in effect got away, they are “transitioning to a fugitive search.” Also a reporter asked about him being ex-cop, and the APD Chief spat out this amazing sentence: “my understanding is that this individual was at one time a Travis County deputy.”

      I'm sure the numbers are up versus quarantine but I'm not sure if they are up from pre-quarantine or if there is just more coverage of these on the news since these events sell.

        It's possible that the pandemic suppressing shootings made their comeback more newsworthy, making them look even more numerous than they might be

        Or they might actually be worse idk
