At least three people are dead after a shooting incident at a Target parking lot in Austin, Texas, authorities said.
Police were called at 2:15 pm local time and arrived within four minutes, where they found three people shot in the parking lot, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said.
Two of the people died on scene and a third person was declared dead at the hospital, Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services Chief Robert Luckritz said. A fourth person was also treated for non-gunshot related injuries, he added.
Davis added that it is not immediately clear what led to the shooting. Authorities have not shared any information about the victims.
The suspect, who “does have a mental health history” and a criminal history, stole a car at the scene, crashed it and then hijacked a Volkswagen from a dealership, Davis said.
