1 dead, several injured in Austin shootings

One person was killed and four were injured in shooting incidents Sunday in downtown Austin, authorities say. First responders say at least five people early Sunday morning in at least two shootings within the same area. One person, identified only as a woman, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services. Three others were hospitalized. One person was injured but declined medical care. Initially, police described the incident as an "active shooter" situation, but the department later tweeted it was two shootings that occurred within the same area. Police secured both crime scenes but warned people to avoid downtown.
