KUT News.
1:12
We are awaiting an update from the
1:13
Austin Police Department on the
1:15
deadly shooting that took place
1:16
early Sunday morning at Buford's
1:18
on West 6th Street.
1:19
It appears that Mayor Kirk Watson is
1:21
at the podium now.
1:22
Let's listen in.
1:25
All right, we are getting you that
1:27
feed right now.
1:28
That press conference is just about
1:30
to begin again.
1:31
We are getting a live
1:33
update from the Austin Police
1:35
Department.
1:35
There was a deadly shooting at
1:37
Buford's early Sunday morning.
1:39
Three people died at the scene,
1:41
including the lead shooter and
1:42
multiple others were hospitalized as
1:45
a result of their injuries.
1:47
Austin Mayor Kirk Watson on Sunday
1:48
called the shooting at an extremely
1:50
significant moment.
1:51
The shooting happened.
1:52
Just before 2 a.m.
1:53
On Sunday at Buford's that's
1:55
a bar at the intersection of West 6
1:57
and Rio Grande streets The
1:59
suspect has been identified.
2:01
He was identified last night as 53
2:03
year old Indiaga Di
2:05
Agna Austin police chief lisa
2:07
davis said the suspect drove around
2:08
the block several times in an suv
2:10
before he stopped Uh,
2:12
let's go to the press conference
2:14
now
2:15
and the motives behind this crime.
2:19
I want to thank everyone that has
2:20
supported our communities and this
2:22
response.
2:24
Families will need this in the days
2:25
ahead.
2:27
I also want to think victim services
2:28
that have come in addition to APD's
2:30
victim services that includes FBI,
2:33
the Travis County District Attorney
2:34
and multiple calls of people
2:36
wanting to help.
2:42
I cannot imagine the grief,
2:44
pain, and loss these families are
2:46
feeling today, and my heart is
2:48
with them.
2:50
Savitha Shawn and
2:52
Ryder Harrington.
2:55
To the impacted families that are
2:56
still waiting for answers, we
2:58
are here for you.
3:00
A Family Resource Center is being
3:02
stood up.
3:03
As we know, numerous people have
3:04
been affected by this, and we are
3:06
daily, hourly, getting calls
3:08
of people that have been victimized
3:10
by this.
3:12
The department will be releasing
3:13
information soon on what that looks
3:14
like.
3:16
When I arrived on the scene, again,
3:18
it was complex and very large.
3:20
The work being done by the Austin
3:22
Fire Department, the Travis County
3:23
Emergency Medical Service, and APD
3:26
was quite impressive.
3:27
Once the initial scene was secured,
3:29
we reached out to our federal
3:30
partners to assist in this resource
3:32
intensive scene and to address
3:35
concerns of potential terrorism.
3:39
We are working in tandem with the
3:40
FBI, conducting numerous interviews
3:42
and gathering evidence.
3:43
If you can imagine, we have over 150
3:44
witnesses to this
3:46
event that we are working with
3:48
the FBI.
3:50
And we are also investigating an
3:52
officer-involved shooting.
3:54
As I have committed in the past,
3:55
in any officer- involved shooting,
3:57
we will be releasing info as quickly
3:59
as possible.
4:00
Later this week, potentially
4:02
Thursday, we'll be releasing
4:03
body-worn camera of this as well
4:05
as information on the suspect,
4:07
including criminal history.
4:10
Again, we are making, and I want you
4:11
to know that we are making
4:12
tremendous significant progress in
4:14
this case, but it will take time.
4:17
In closing, I want to take again a
4:19
minute to as a mayor, echo the mayor
4:21
and talk about just the fantastic
4:22
work that the Austin Police
4:24
Department with the
4:26
Travis County Emergency Medical
4:27
Services did here.
4:29
Multiple lives were saved.
4:31
You know, in Texas, we're fortunate
4:32
to have the Advanced Law Enforcement
4:33
Rapid Response Training Center,
4:36
and that's the Alert Center through
4:37
Texas State University.
4:39
And that training, there's no doubt
4:41
that that and that coordinated
4:42
response with EMS saved
4:44
lives.
4:48
That was Austin Police Chief Lisa
4:49
Davis on to Mayor Kirk Watson.
4:53
I also want to point out that we're
4:55
joined today by our city manager,
4:58
T.C. Broadnax, and
5:00
council member who represents the
5:02
downtown area, Zoe Cadry.
5:06
Before we take your questions, I
5:07
want to say that we recognize that
5:09
this is a very traumatic moment
5:11
in our city.
5:15
But when I talk about being proud of
5:18
APD and FIRE and EMS,
5:20
I wanna also say how proud I am
5:22
in how the people that
5:24
are this city have
5:26
reacted with such great
5:28
compassion.
5:30
We are all mourning together and
5:31
grieving as a group, but we're
5:33
seeing tremendous compassion
5:35
and love coming out of the people of
5:37
Austin.
5:38
And so I urge everyone at
5:40
this moment of trauma to
5:42
reach out to each other and take
5:44
care of each other.
5:45
And take care of our home,
5:47
be with each other.
5:49
While this is a dark moment,
5:52
our people are creating a lot of
5:54
light in Austin, Texas.
5:56
And what we do for each other
5:57
matters.
6:00
So now we're
6:02
happy to take
6:04
a few questions.
6:07
We can start over here and
6:09
then we'll go here.
6:10
Yeah.
6:11
Has this impacted any plans,
6:13
security plans for Southwest L1?
6:16
It is not, you know, we have a press
6:18
conference, I believe next Thursday
6:20
for our spring festival season.
6:22
And certainly as we look at
6:24
Austin and what makes Austin so
6:26
great are those events.
6:28
We are a major city police
6:30
department and we go
6:32
in best practices.
6:33
I feel confident that the resources
6:35
we have in play South
6:37
by Southwest will continue on and
6:39
it will be a safe festival season
6:43
Do we know how the suspects acquired
6:45
these guns and whether they were
6:46
acquired legally?
6:47
The guns were required legally, I
6:49
believe in 2017 out of San Antonio
6:51
they were purchased.
6:53
Can you tell us more about the
6:55
victims? I think you said Savita,
6:57
Sean, and Ryder Harrison.
6:59
Ryder Harrington, yes.
7:00
Can you tell us more?
7:02
Are they UT students?
7:03
I think Ryder is a Texas Tech
7:05
student.
7:06
I don't know as far as
7:08
what school they went to, that is
7:09
certainly something that we can look
7:10
into. But they were young, I believe
7:12
Ryder was maybe 22 and
7:14
Savita 24,
7:16
or 20 respectively.
7:19
Are you able to share any details
7:20
about the warrants that were
7:21
executed yesterday?
7:25
So anytime that you're doing an
7:26
investigation like this, it's gonna
7:27
lead to search warrants.
7:29
And so those warrants were based off
7:31
information of where this person
7:32
lived, addresses where he
7:34
congregated, and
7:36
evidence was taken from that.
7:38
We are listening to live special
7:40
coverage of the update
7:42
this afternoon from Austin Police
7:44
Department in response to
7:46
the weekend's deadly shooting at
7:48
Buford. We have gotten names
7:50
of two of the victims so far,
7:52
Savita Sean and Ryder Harrington.
7:54
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis is
7:56
currently in the middle of answering
7:57
some questions.
7:58
We're going to work to get back
7:59
there. Let's go back now.
8:00
Chief of Austin Travis County EMS.
8:03
EMS as well as our fellow public
8:04
safety partners work very closely
8:05
with the autonomous vehicle vendors
8:07
that operate here in the city of
8:08
Austin. We had more than 20 assets
8:10
resources that responded to this
8:12
event.
8:13
As was said at an earlier press
8:14
conference we were on scene within
8:15
57 seconds and so in the
8:17
grand scheme of the impact on the
8:19
overall incident we
8:21
don't believe it had any impact on
8:22
patient outcomes.
8:23
I will say that we're already in
8:24
touch with Waymo and the autonomous
8:26
vehicles to
8:28
to give them our concerns and work
8:29
with them in order to try to address
8:31
this moving forward.
8:32
If you guys could raise your hands,
8:33
they will still hear them.
8:34
Jamal and for the chief and for
8:36
Asian Durant, can you explain
8:38
what more you've learned about
8:40
possible motive?
8:41
And I think it was reported that the
8:43
suspect had a
8:44
shirt underneath the sweatshirt
8:46
that showed an Iranian flag.
8:48
Is there a direct connection to
8:50
the war in Iran with
8:52
the shooting?
8:53
So I think for our purposes, you
8:54
know, as we're, you know, looking at
8:56
the totality of this and certainly
8:58
as a police chief and we're coming
8:59
in and we are getting this information
9:01
and we see those indicators, we
9:02
see, you know, the second shirt with
9:05
the Iran, the picture of the shawl
9:06
on that T-shirt as well.
9:09
You know, we're thinking about
9:10
events and what's occurring in the
9:12
country as well and so in addition
9:14
to the fact that this was a huge
9:16
complex scene, we
9:18
are calling in those federal
9:19
partners to take a look at that as
9:20
well, and so The motives,
9:23
all of those things, that's what
9:23
this investigation is about right
9:25
now.
9:26
What do you want? I don't want.
9:27
Oh, sure. Go ahead.
9:29
Thank you.
9:30
So I'll add on that.
9:31
But first, I just want to
9:33
also express
9:35
our regards to
9:37
the victims, the victims families,
9:40
those impacted by this
9:42
this tragic event.
9:43
It's not just those that were were
9:45
injured or killed, but obviously
9:47
those that witnessed it are going to
9:48
be forever impacted.
9:49
So just let them know
9:51
we stand with you.
9:52
And we are our thoughts are with
9:53
you.
9:54
With regards to the question,
9:57
yes, we Like,
10:00
our ultimate goal and everything we
10:01
do is to determine the
10:03
motive, right? We're looking for
10:04
connections that he possibly had,
10:06
witnesses, as the chief had
10:08
mentioned. We are pouring through
10:10
thousands of hours of video.
10:12
We have massive amounts
10:14
of both digital and physical
10:17
evidence.
10:18
And this is a around-the-clock,
10:20
24-hour investigation at this
10:22
point. And any
10:24
declarations on
10:26
what led to that motive would be
10:28
premature, right?
10:29
We want to make sure that we have
10:31
our facts 100%
10:33
correct or as close to, or
10:35
at least we've tracked down every
10:36
possible lead that we can because
10:38
that's what we owe to the victims,
10:40
right. That's what you guys want
10:40
answers for, but more importantly,
10:42
we owe that to the victims and their
10:43
families to be right.
10:45
So we don't want to speculate or
10:46
make any guesses at this stage of
10:48
the investigation as to what that
10:50
motive ultimately was.
10:52
But Jamal, maybe feedback
10:54
off of that, are you all looking
10:55
into anyone else that may be
10:57
connected with the suspect at this
10:58
time that you know of?
10:59
Or is there anything else about the
11:00
suspect you can share?
11:01
Again, we will have some criminal
11:03
history, some background, that type
11:04
of thing on Thursday when we address
11:06
the officer involved shooting.
11:07
But as far as anyone else, that's
11:09
all part of what that investigation
11:10
is currently.
11:11
Given some of his interactions with
11:13
your agency previously, some of the
11:14
social media posts attributed to
11:15
him, have your agency or any agency
11:17
identified him as a potential
11:19
concern or a threat before this?
11:22
We have not at the Austin Police
11:23
Department now.
11:25
No, he was not previously on our
11:27
radar.
11:29
Agent Doran.
11:30
I had a question for you yesterday.
11:32
You mentioned that there
11:34
was this potential nexus to
11:36
terrorism that was being
11:37
investigated.
11:38
Can you tell us what that means in
11:40
regular words and also what
11:42
those you know what we've learned
11:44
about?
11:44
So any act of targeted violence,
11:46
which is what this was, we're going
11:47
to pursue all investigative
11:49
lines, right?
11:50
And that is certainly one of them,
11:52
along with multiple other
11:54
avenues of where this could go,
11:55
right.
11:56
It's always very difficult to
11:57
determine what's in an individual's
11:59
mind that leads them to commit this
12:00
type of violence.
12:01
And so we will continue to,
12:03
like I said, pour through the
12:05
evidence, talk to witnesses,
12:07
talk to friends, talk associates
12:08
that knew this person, obviously
12:10
tracking movement leading up to and
12:12
on the night of the event and also
12:14
going back as far back as we can
12:15
trace, and that's what the FBI does,
12:17
and we're doing that in lockstep
12:18
with our partners, and we will
12:19
continue to do that until
12:21
we get that answer to determine
12:24
what that ultimate motivation was.
12:25
We'll take two or three more
12:27
questions, we're gonna start in the
12:27
back here, and then we'll go to
12:29
Angela and end with Matte.
12:30
Thank you. For either the Chief or
12:32
Special Agent Duran, how closely are
12:34
you working with other major cities,
12:36
like the NYPD, the LAPD,
12:38
we know New York put out a statement
12:39
saying that they saw what happened
12:41
in Austin and they're taking it
12:42
seriously and it has put them on
12:44
high alert.
12:45
Are you talking to other cities?
12:47
Can you tell me a little bit about
12:47
that?
12:48
Yeah, I think being
12:50
part of the major city chiefs
12:52
association, those are in
12:53
contact with all of those chiefs
12:55
and what's going on.
12:57
And everybody better be on
12:58
heightened alert. I mean, this is
12:59
what happens across the country.
13:01
We all need to be aware of, and
13:02
certainly as major cities, you look
13:03
at best practices and you look the
13:05
way you keep people safe.
13:06
That's absolutely important, and
13:07
there's probably not a police chief
13:08
across this country that's not
13:09
talking to someone.
13:12
Angela and Dante, you'll have the
13:13
final question.
13:14
So yesterday, three patients were in
13:15
critical condition.
13:16
Has there been any status updates on
13:18
the hospitalized patients?
13:21
I believe one patient will
13:23
be taking off life support sometime
13:25
today and then two
13:27
other patients are still critical.
13:30
Can you clarify the victim's
13:32
names and age please?
13:35
The victims that were killed,
13:37
Savita, Sean,
13:40
I think she's 24.
13:44
S-A-V-I-T-H-A,
13:47
S-H A-N,
13:50
and Ryder, R-Y-D-E-R,
13:53
Harrington, H-A R-R-I
13:55
N-G-T O-N.
13:57
I believe he's 22.
13:59
Do you want to take final questions?
14:00
And I'm curious if you think that
14:02
Austin's. From San Francisco State
14:03
University and it seems like it has
14:05
contributed to the past.
14:08
Absolutely.
14:09
When you look at the, again, I
14:10
talked about the Alert Center and
14:12
our partnership with Texas State and
14:14
what that does.
14:14
And I made a note to myself because
14:16
it is, we
14:18
have CAST, which is our
14:21
Counter Assault Strike Team,
14:23
CAST. And that includes EMS,
14:25
it includes AFD, and
14:27
APD. And they set in this very room
14:29
every Friday, Saturday, and
14:31
Sunday night to address potential
14:33
threat concerns from our
14:34
entertainment areas.
14:35
And so That is something that we
14:36
have to be prepared for.
14:37
When you have large events,
14:39
large-scale events, and we do this
14:40
in our other large- scale
14:42
events as well, when you're talking
14:43
South By, you're talking about other
14:44
things where there are large crowds,
14:47
we are there and prepared.
14:48
So absolutely.
14:50
If I might add one thing to that,
14:53
in 2024,
14:55
and then Chief Likritz and I talked
14:56
about this yesterday,
14:58
I guess it was in 2024.
15:01
The city of Austin also created the
15:03
downtown area command with
15:06
EMS so that we would be
15:08
better ready.
15:09
That's what the recommendations
15:10
coming from the professionals in EMS
15:12
said they wanted and needed that
15:14
sort of thing. So we would be better
15:16
ready
15:17
You know, God forbid there was a
15:19
situation like this.
15:20
And we think that also played a
15:22
significant role in addition to what
15:24
the chief was saying.
15:25
Thank you all.
15:32
All right, you have been listening
15:33
to live special coverage
15:35
of an update from the Austin Police
15:37
Department as well as Austin Mayor
15:38
Kirk Watson.
15:39
It was an update on the
15:41
shooting that took place Sunday
15:42
morning at Buford's.
15:44
This is KUT News 90.5.
15:46
We're on the KUT app and online
15:48
at KUT.org.
15:49
You're listening to the Austin
15:51
Signal.
15:52
We missed a little chunk of
15:53
the beginning of the press
15:55
conference because of some technical
15:56
difficulties. So we're going to
15:58
update you now for the remaining
15:59
time that we have left on the show
16:01
with the information that we did,
16:03
were able to take from that press
16:04
conference.
16:05
And right now I want to bring in
16:07
Chelsey Zhu. She is a digital
16:09
producer here at KUT News.
16:11
And she's been reporting on this
16:12
story since early yesterday morning.
16:14
Thanks for your reporting, Chelsey.
16:15
Thanks for being here.
16:16
Hi, Jerry. So we have been reporting
16:18
that three people died as
16:20
a result of this shooting, including
16:22
the alleged shooter.
16:23
And we got a little bit of an update
16:24
a little while ago on the names of
16:26
the other two victims.
16:27
What do we hear?
16:28
Yes, so before today,
16:30
the other two deceased had not been
16:32
publicly named and police chief Lisa
16:34
Davis just said identified them
16:36
as Savita Sean and Ryder
16:38
Harrington.
16:40
And she said that they were both
16:42
young people, both in their 20s.
16:45
She also gave an update on there
16:47
were three people yesterday who are
16:49
identified as being in critical
16:50
condition among the injured.
16:52
And she gave the update that
16:54
two of the patients are still
16:55
critical and one patient will be
16:57
taken off life support today.
16:59
Yes, and we will continue to do more
17:01
reporting. You can find that this
17:02
afternoon on All Things Considered
17:03
and on our website, KUT.org
17:06
and the KUT app.
17:07
We also heard an update about the
17:10
alleged suspect.
17:11
He's been identified as 53-year-old
17:14
Ndiaga Diogna.
17:16
What updates have we heard since
17:18
yesterday? What do we hear today?
17:19
There was not a lot of new
17:21
information, I would say.
17:22
So yesterday we heard from the FBI
17:24
that they were investigating this
17:26
as, you know, potentially being
17:27
connected to terrorism.
17:29
And that was mostly still
17:31
what they were saying at the press
17:32
conference today.
17:34
They did not want to elaborate
17:36
on possible motives at this
17:38
time.
17:39
They did say that the
17:42
two guns I believe that he used in
17:44
the shooting, which was pistol and a
17:45
rifle that those were acquired
17:47
legally.
17:48
Um, and they also mentioned,
17:50
you know, search warrants,
17:52
um, and that, you know,
17:54
they, they had executed search
17:55
warrence yesterday, um at
17:58
what they believe to be his home
17:59
and in Pflugerville.
18:01
Yeah, and one of the reporters at
18:02
the press conference asked if
18:04
Indiagna
18:07
had ever been identified
18:09
by APD.
18:10
Did you catch that answer?
18:11
Yes, I think they said that
18:13
he was not on their radar
18:15
previously.
18:15
Okay, and I know you have been
18:17
following this story and
18:19
there's lots of details and lots
18:21
that we're still reporting on and
18:22
following. Was there anything else
18:23
about the press conference that
18:24
stood out to you right now?
18:26
Um, uh, I don't think so.
18:28
Uh, the, the only main thing was
18:30
that, um, we had our reporter ask
18:32
about South by security plans.
18:35
Um, and, uh Lisa Davis
18:37
just said that there's nothing new
18:38
to share at this moment, but they
18:39
are planning to have, I believe a
18:41
press conference next week to talk
18:42
about, uh yeah, their role in South
18:44
by.
18:44
And it sounded as though Austin
18:46
Police Chief Lisa Davis said there
18:47
would also be another
18:49
update on Thursday because of the
18:51
officer-involved shooting.
18:52
So it seems like maybe we can expect
18:54
to get more information
18:56
in the days ahead.
18:57
Still lots to be found as
18:59
we continue this investigation.
19:01
And again, we have been following
19:02
the story at KUT.org and
19:04
on the KUT app and we will continue
19:06
to do so for the duration
19:08
of the investigation.
19:09
And beyond that...
19:11
Chelsey I wanted to ask you a little
19:12
bit about reporting the story
19:14
because this happened at a really
19:15
early time on Sunday morning You
19:17
know we have a newscast
19:19
during the week not so much on the
19:20
weekends So I wanted just kind of
19:23
lift the curtain for our listeners a
19:24
little but when you were the on-call
19:26
reporter this weekend That's why you
19:27
have been reporting on the story
19:29
when you first found out who
19:31
did you reach out to who were you?
19:32
Trying to confirm with
19:33
Yes, so I believe I was awake
19:35
at four in the morning.
19:36
That was just something that
19:38
happened to be awake.
19:40
It was the first thing that I was
19:42
seeing on social media.
19:44
So then I reached out and
19:46
called our on-call editor and
19:48
then from there we made a coverage
19:50
plan. We put out the initial story.
19:53
APD held their first press
19:54
conference on the shooting at 5 a.m.
19:57
Yesterday morning.
19:58
So, we wrote up the story from
20:00
there, the official information that
20:02
was confirmed, and then from there
20:03
we began pulling in pretty much
20:05
almost the entire newsroom.
20:07
There were reporters going out to
20:09
the scene at the time, what we
20:11
believed to be where search
20:13
warrants were being executed related
20:14
to the suspect.
20:16
We had people, multimedia or
20:18
multimedia team at Buford's,
20:21
and there was another press
20:23
conference later in the morning with
20:24
more information, so
20:26
yeah, it was really all hands on
20:27
deck effort.
20:28
Yeah, and we're starting to get more
20:30
details about what happened.
20:31
There are some social media videos
20:32
as well, showing the insides
20:35
of Buford's and the scenes after.
20:37
You spoke with somebody who was on
20:38
6th Street the night of, what did
20:40
they see?
20:41
Yes. So he was
20:43
there with a friend
20:45
and he was actually outside
20:47
of Buford's.
20:48
He was walking back from a different
20:49
bar. He said around
20:51
2 a.m., around closing time, and
20:53
that is when this
20:56
person, Kelsen Lee,
20:58
he said that he then
21:00
heard, you know, while he was
21:01
walking outside around six gunshots.
21:04
And then as he was
21:06
approaching Buford's, you know,
21:08
he saw people running, a
21:10
large amount of people running away,
21:11
and then he said, you know, he
21:13
saw bodies on the floor, and people
21:15
were immediately, you know, giving
21:17
CPR, and that
21:19
police came very shortly afterwards
21:21
to give aid.
21:22
Okay, we have more reporting about
21:23
this story at KUT.org.
21:26
I did want to ask,
21:29
let me just update everyone.
21:30
We have been listening to an update
21:32
from the Austin Police Department.
21:33
We did hear the names of the
21:36
two victims, Savitha Shun
21:38
and Ryder Harrington.
21:40
What else, Chelsey, are we working
21:42
to confirm and what
21:44
else are we reaching out to
21:45
officials about right now and in the
21:46
wake of the shooting?
21:47
Yeah, so right now, I believe that
21:49
we are looking into more information
21:50
about the suspect, and
21:52
we are also working on reaching out
21:54
to the victims and their families,
21:57
including people who are injured,
21:59
who were injured in the shooting,
22:00
and just seeing, you know, what they
22:02
feel comfortable sharing, what they
22:04
want to tell us about their loved
22:05
ones.
22:06
Okay, well we will continue to
22:08
bring you more information.
22:09
This newsroom has been working since
22:11
early yesterday morning for lots
22:13
of coverage around this and there's
22:15
lots more to be covered.
22:16
We have been speaking with Chelsey
22:18
Zhu. She is a digital producer here
22:20
at KUT and has been reporting on
22:21
the shooting. Chelsey, thanks for
22:23
being with us today.
22:24
Thank you. And again, we will
22:25
continued to bring this coverage and
22:27
all things considered coming up at
22:29
3.30 today and we
22:31
will have more coverage on the KUT
22:32
app and online at kut.org.
22:35
If you're just catching us at the
22:37
end of the show, just got a little
22:38
rundown here for you.
22:39
We heard an update from the Austin
22:41
Police Department, Austin Police
22:43
Chief Lisa Davis and Austin Mayor
22:45
Kirk Watson today.
22:46
They confirmed the identities
22:48
of two of the victims,
22:50
Savitha Sean and Ryder Harrington.
22:52
They did say that the guns used
22:54
in the attack at Buford's were
22:56
acquired legally.
22:59
They said they have executed
23:00
warrants in Del Valle and
23:01
Pflugerville.
23:02
It's still too early at this
23:04
point to talk about a
23:06
possible motive, but we are
23:07
expecting more information, more
23:09
press conferences in the coming
23:11
days.
23:12
And there were three patients in
23:14
critical condition, two remain
23:16
in critical conditions, and
23:18
one patient is,
23:20
I believe, will be coming off of
23:22
life support, is what Austin Police

Chief Lisa Davis said earlier
23:25
