Police Called To Hospital After Three Shooting Victims, One Dead, Appear At Entrance

NORTH AUSTIN, TX — Austin police late Tuesday were investigating a triple shooting that left one man dead and another two injured.

Senior police officer William Costello staged a news briefing Tuesday evening to provide media outlets with details. At about 8:15 p.m., police received a call from St. David's Medical Center in downtown Austin about a shooting victim outside the hospital. A Pflugerville police officer was at the scene, working his night job guarding the hospital, Costello noted.

It's unclear how the victim got to the hospital, with police surmising it actually took place at St. Johns Avenue near Interstate 35. The victim succumbed to his injuries, and two other shooting victims were being treated for injuries that aren't believed to be life-threatening ones.

Costello wasn't able to provide further details, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. He indicated more details would be made available on Wednesday.
