Officer Involved Shooting

[Colleen Pate]

Council Members:

I’m sorry to start your day this way. At approximately 4:10 this morning, we had an Officer involved shooting in South Austin. One of our SWAT Officers is dead. Another Officer was shot and is in surgery at Dell Seton Medical Center.

There were two deceased people found in the house, as I currently understand it. The suspect was shot and was deceased at the scene.
I will keep you up to date.

I echo CM Kelly’s sentiments and will keep the officers’ families and colleagues in my thoughts during this time.

My thoughts are with the families and colleagues of the two officers who were tragically shot in the line of service this morning, and I am hoping for a full recovery for the officer still in surgery.

I am deeply grateful for their courage and their service to our community.

Thank you Mayor for keeping us updated.

With gratitude,

My heart aches for the family of our fallen officer this morning, and I send my prayers for the wounded officer’s swift recovery. APD officers and leaders, first responders and their families, and those affected by the violence have my strong support as we respond collectively to this tragedy.

Thank you, Mayor, for the early notice about the loss of life this morning, and for keeping us all informed.
