Four people were shot and injured on Sixth Street in downtown Austin early Sunday as the first in-person South by Southwest in two years drew to a close.
All four victims were hospitalized with minor injuries, officials said. Officers arrested a suspect, but police officials declined to name the person or say what charge the suspect is facing.
Police responded around 2 a.m. to a "shots fired" call in the 400 block of East Sixth Street. As first responders swarmed the scene, the city issued an alert on social media.
"There is an emergency near 6th and Trinity," city officials posted on Facebook and Twitter. "Calmly leave the area now, and follow instructions from uniformed emergency responders. Stay away until further notice."
