Authorities shot and killed a man who they say opened fire on Austin police headquarters on Friday, and a bomb squad was called in to search his vehicle. The man also targeted a US courthouse and the Mexican Consulate, Assistant Poice Chief Raul Munguia said at a news conference. Officers were searching the suspect’s Austin-area residents for possible explosives.
Police did not immediately confirm whether the man, whose name was not immediately released, had explosives.
The gunfire was reported at 2:22 am on Friday, Munguia said, and some bullets hit police headquarters.
