ZTE User ID: 779511 United States 01/21/2010 01:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.mysanantonio.com] AUSTIN – Shots were fired at the Texas Capitol on Thursday, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed. The shooting occurred minutes before noon. A trooper at the Capitol said a person was taken into custody. The building was locked down to make certain there were no other shooters. The noontime crowd traveling back and forth at the corner of 11th and Congress Ave. were disturbed when DPS patrol cars arrived at the Capitol grounds at a high rate of speed with their lights on and sirens blaring. Officers jumped out of the cars and grabbed assault weapons from the trunk before running up the Capitol’s Great Walk on the south side. No ambulances appear to have been called out to the building. |
