One of two suspects in a mass shooting that injured 14 people in Austin, Texas, has been apprehended, but the local newspaper is continuing to withhold the alleged shooter’s description to avoid “perpetuating stereotypes.”
Austin police offered no details of the arrest, other than to say that it was done with the help of a US Marshals task force. Mention of the arrest was tacked on to an earlier statement regarding the Saturday morning shooting, which described the alleged shooter. It’s not clear whether that description applies to the man who was arrested or to the suspect who remained at large as of Saturday evening.
