USA – A Target store shooting in Texas on Monday least 3 people dead after a gunman opened fire at a Target parking lot.

The suspect fled in a stolen car, which he later crashed. He hijacked another one from a nearby dealership before he was apprehended.

Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the suspect is a man with “a mental health history.”

The motives are still under investigation.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said it was a “devastating” situation.

“While this remains an active and ongoing investigation, what I’ll say is that this was a sickening, cowardly act of gun violence,” Watson said on X.

“I am grateful for the quick response of our APD officers and other first responders and want to thank them for their actions to apprehend the suspect.”
