USA Today: 'Danger remains high': 3 dead in Austin shooting spree near The Arboretum shopping center; manhunt for suspect underway
Alejandro Martínez-Cabrera, Tony Plohetski and John Bacon, USA TODAY 35 mins ago
"AUSTIN – Three people were pronounced dead at the scene of a shooting Sunday in Northwest Austin and a manhunt was underway for the killer, authorities said.
Authorities said the incident was reported shortly before noon at an apartment complex, and police vehicles, tactical units and SWAT teams swarmed the parking lot of a nearby shopping complex.
“Obviously this is a tragedy. We have people who have lost their lives here,” Interim Police Chief Joe Chacon said. “We’ll do our best … to get this person in custody … and hopefully with no more loss of life.”

Chacon said the shooting appeared to stem from a domestic dispute. He identified the suspect as Stephen Nicholas Broderick, 41. Preliminary information indicated that Broderick knew the victims, two women and a man, and that the shooting was targeted. A child was involved in the incident, Chacon said, but was safe in police custody.
“However, danger remains high,” he said.
Records show Broderick, a former Travis County sheriff's office detective, is already facing charges of sexual assault of a child. Broderick was booked into jail in June and spent 16 days behind bars prior to posting bail, which was set at $50,000.
Broderick, a property crimes detective, resigned after his arrest, according to Travis County Sheriff's spokeswoman Kristen Dark.
Court and public records show that Broderick's wife filed for a protective order and divorce shortly after her husband's arrest.
Chacon described Broderick as 5 foot, 7 inches, with a medium build. Broderick was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, sunglasses and a baseball cap, Chacon said. ... "

We will have to change the flag policy to honor victims of mass shootings, unless we simply want the flag at half-mast every day.
Perhaps it could shift to a ceremonial dipping of the flag at noon, then raise it back up.

LaToya Renee Carpenter, 32, was killed in Saturday's shooting, after being fatally struck by a stray bullet while driving a vehicle in the parking lot outside the Dollar General in the Refugee Center shopping plaza on Chatterton Road near Noe-Bixby Road in Truro Township.
