At least three people were killed on Sunday in a shooting at an Austin, Texas, apartment complex -- in what was the second shooting in the United States in one day involving multple victims. Austin Police Department Acting Police Chief Joseph Chacon said a manhunt is still underway for the suspect.
"Our suspect at this point, we think we know who it is...He is tentatively identified as Stephen Nicholas Broderick... He's a black male, 41 years of age.
He's described as being 5 foot 7 with an average build.
He's wearing a gray hoodie, sunglasses, and a baseball cap." The shooting in Austin occurred near a popular shopping area in the northwest part of the city, starling local residents.
Resident Michelle Ross: "I'm a little worried just because, you know, we know a lot of our neighbors and our dogs were here and everything but.
And you know I guess it's our, our neighborhood so that's really scary." Officials noted that while the suspect is still at large, the shooting appears to be a domestic, isolated incident and there appears to be no risk to the general public.
1,200 miles away, another shooting rang out early on Sunday morning -- when a gunman opened fire at a bar in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, killing three.
The shootings come as Americans are already on high alert after more than half a dozen deadly mass shootings in the United States over the past month.

After careful consideration,
we are revising our sponsorship
model. As a result, the U.S. Army,
and companies who engage in
weapons manufacturing, will
not be sponsors of SXSW 2025, SXSW statement, via Fox News.
Fox News reports that over 80 artists and panelists pulled
out of the 2024 festival "in solidarity with Palestine,"
according to the Austin for Palestine coalition.

The group called for a boycott of SXSW
over the organization's ties to the U.S. military
and weapons-manufacturing companies. .
In 2024, the U.S. Army, Defense Department, , Raytheon and L3Harris , all sponsored the SXSW festival.

We appreciated the opportunity
to join South by Southwest in 2024.
With U.S. Army Futures Command
headquartered in Austin, we value
any opportunity to join with our
community to ignite discovery
and make new connections. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
The Army will continue to
seek opportunities to meet
technology innovators and
leaders, explore new ideas
and insights, and create dynamic
industry partnerships because
tomorrow is worth protecting. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
Bands and artists participating in the boycott,
including Squirrel Flower, Scowl and Okay Shalom,
explained why they protested the 2024 festival. .
There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense
contractors including Raytheon
subsidiaries as well as the U.S. Army,

Genocide profiteers like Raytheon
supply weapons to the IDF, paid for
by our taxes. A music festival should
not include war profiteers. I refuse
to be complicit in this and withdrawl
[sic] my art and labor in protest, Squirrel Flower, also known as
