One person shot, killed during Black Lives Matter protest in Texas

Footage posted during a Facebook Live showed the moment when several shots rang out in the Texas capital as about 100 people marched and chanted, “Fists up! Fight back!”

Austin police and emergency medical services said on Twitter that one person was killed during the shooting. There were no other deaths or people shot, according to the EMS department. Initial reports indicate the suspect was carrying a rifle and shot at the victim, who was in his car, police told a briefing. The suspect has been detained, they said.

Protests against racism and police brutality were sparked worldwide following the May killing of African-American George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis. Floyd died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes while detaining him.

Sadness

Honestly can you blame the driver? I’m a leftist and even I can tell you firing 5 rounds at a vehicle first makes it a very clear case of self defense

He was pointing a rifle into the car.. Then he was shot

“I was just exercising my second amendment rights by rioting and blocking traffic and shooting at cars when they shot me.” You know when you use a gun in an illegal terrorist activity like a BLM riot it doesn’t matter if it was in “self-defense” or not, right?

So, open carry is working out. 2A

BLM are terrorists!

How many can you kill ? realDonaldTrump

The power of II amendament...

Long overdue for America's police FORCE be given psychological testing to determine fitness! Along with comprehensive counseling! Obviously many aren't safe for positions in society or to themselves! Question : Why would any balanced person want the employment as a career?

自由美利坚，枪击每一天

This was a LawsDontMatter protest....

who did it?

How about those 45 Police Lives Injured in Seattle Tonight by BLM ? Or All Black Lives Shot and Killed in DemRanCities By Blacks And Hispanics Every Damn Day? Like We All Forget Chiraq Weekend Totals! Another 3Yr Old Killed This past week! GeorgeFloyd God Has & His Judgement!!

WTF Is violence and slaughter the only means of solving racism? That's too sad...

Protests... were sparked worldwide following the May killing of African-American George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis. Floyd died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes while detaining him. 👀 Has nothing to do with this murder. ✌🐸

Burning Looting Mayhem.

There you go again

Lock up Americans! Burn our Constitution! Trump is king! Thanks Reuters.

They've seen what BLM thugs did in other cities. They start by chanting BLACK LIVES MATTER Then it's followed by looting, rioting, beating white people, and even black people. Can't fight injustice by more injustice.

That's what happens when you swarm a car for honking and point a gun at the driver in Texas.

How many deaths, still, until this is over....?!? 🙄🤔👀🤢🤯

Good morning

Who did the shooting?

Black lives matter doesn’t mean that any other life matters less than a black one. It just means that we need to pay attention to the Black lives because they are hurting more It doesn’t get more racist than Boston. Signs that say 'no hate in this home' or, 'this house supports...' implies there is hate in other homes. Some have suggested it is like the lamb's blood on the door.
