Downtown Austin shooting allegedly started as fight between teenagers

17-year-old arrested as second suspect in Austin's mass shooting

A juvenile was arrested in connection to the mass shooting in Austin that took the life of one, left a mother in critical condition, and injured twelve others.

AUSTIN, Texas - UPDATE: The charges against the 15-year-old and 17-year-old have since been dropped by the Travis County District Attorney's Office. Authorities say they are looking for a new suspect in connection to the deadly 6th Street shooting that happened on June 12.

Court documents released Wednesday allege the mass shooting on West 6th Street in downtown Austin started as a fight between teenagers.

According to the documents, a group of juveniles posted about their outing to West 6th Street on social media. Police say shortly after another juvenile posted that he was going to Austin.

While police say eyewitness accounts differ, eventually the 2 groups did bump into each other and got into a verbal argument.

Police say the argument escalated, and multiple people may have drawn guns.

It is unknown how many people fired their weapons.
